Tarragon Watermelon Radishes
adapted from Food Network Magazine April 2020
My husband loves pickled vegetables on his salads but they are expensive to by so I started making my own and it is surprisingly ease. I used watermelon radishes because they are bigger and easier to slice on the mandoline.
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 Tbsp. sugar substitute
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1/4 lb. radishes, thinly sliced
1 tarragon sprig
1/2 cup water
2 tsp. Kosher salt
1 Tbsp. sugar substitute
1 tsp. mustard seeds
1/4 lb. radishes, thinly sliced
1 tarragon sprig
- Combine the vinegar, water, kosher salt, sugar substitute, and mustard seeds in a small saucepan; Bring to a boil.
- Continue boiling until sugar substitute and salt dissolves.
- Pack the radishes and tarragon into a heatproof container.
- Pour in the hot brine to cover completely (you might not use all the brine). Let cool completely.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 2 weeks.
