Pickled Watermelon Radish

Watermelon radish is one of my favorite vegetables! It’s not only beautiful but it also provides a host of health benefits and medicinal properties. Some of the benefits include high in Vitamin C, high in potassium, supports liver detoxification, and aids in digestion!

Pickling is a great way to preserve any vegetable! It also adds an acid element to any dish!

Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the watermelon radishes into discs. Add the water, apple cider vinegar, honey and salt to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the juniper berries, mustard seeds and coriander seeds. Place the watermelon radishes in a large Weck jar and pour the hot liquid over the radishes. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
