Audrey grew an incredible batch of watermelon radishes. These radishes are a fuchsia color on the inside and more of a lime green on the outside. They grow just like regular radishes. Audrey wanted to put up these radishes and I found a great recipe for Pickled Honey Radishes and she found a Radish Relish from the Put Em Up canning cookbook. I have done just the basic Pickled Radishes and they were fantastic. I'm very excited to put together these recipes using these exact type of radishes.
From Audrey: This is the first time I've grown watermelon radishes and they are so much fun! I love the pale green outside against the bright pink inside.
They taste like regular radishes with a little extra spicy.|
Here is my batch tonight 4 lbs. Honey pickled radishes and radish relish. Tasted both and the honey one is sweet and takes the intense pepper away but it still has a little kick.
Also both jars look the same color but the relish used red wine vinegar to give it that color and the honey is what gives the others that color. I think if you use white radishes it would of been more golden in color.|
