What are you canning now?

[Lacy Blues]

anyone? I've got radishes out the ying/yang and it's suppose to rain 1 1/2 inches....they're going to split!

I looked in all 3 of my canning books and have nothing for radishes except a cream spread for stuffing cherry tomatoes. Sorry.

Honestly, I've never even heard of anyone pickling them. I suppose you could just do some hot pepper flakes, vinegar, and salt.

I found a recipe for radish relish. Radishes, celery, onions, peppers, sugar, mustard seed, vinegar! Will try today! Still interested in others though.

I heard of that recipe also. It sounded delicious I plan on trying it.

I've pickled radishes before. You can do them with the same brine for dilly beans, but I leave out the dill and add a lot of mustard seed, or you can do them sweet and spicy. My sweet ones have apple cider vinegar, sugar, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, garlic, red chili flakes, a dried thai bird chili in each jar, and salt.

did you grind your radishes, or leave them whole?

I leave small ones whole, and half or quarter the larger ones depending on the size, for the ones like dilly beans. We eat those as pickles. I slice the other two kinds and then use them one cheese platters, sandwiches, chopped up and in deviled eggs and tuna salad. They are really versatile, especially if you pick them a little on the young side so they don't have too much bite.

Get the 'Encyclopedia for country living' by Carla Emery... it is a wonderful book and has old fashioned recipes in it as well. I have a recipe for 'Rosy Radish Relish' and it gives the canning instructions Plus 5 other radish recipes. It also tells you how to grow, store, freeze, and dry radishes...among thousand of other veggies and fruit.. Tells you how to buy land, build storage and preservation facilities.... and it has animals.. how to raise select butcher.. plus she had tons of references and recourse you can go to. That's where I first got my chicken information and chose the breed I wanted. She passed a few years back but last I talked to her husband he published her last edition and is still seling them... they are available in many places on-line.

Would you believe my aunt just gave me Carla Emery's Old Fashioned Recipe Book....I had forgotten about it!
Thanks for reminding me. She was/is a great inspiration!
