Quick Turnip and Radish Pickles
June 11, 2024
These are seriously quick! Even made 1 hour before eating, and these are deliciously pickled.
Any time of radish works here, and blending with turnips makes the pickles even sweeter.

- Place sliced radishes/turnips and other add ins into a pint sized jar.
- Add honey to brine mixture, stirring until incorporated, and then pour over radish/turnips in jar.
- Let cool to room temp or in fridge for ideally at least 1 hour before serving. These will keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
