Mixed Vegetable Pickles

Mixed Vegetable Pickles

There aren’t many recipes as versatile as the quick pickle. This sweet-and-sour pickle brine can be used to pickle a wide variety of in-season vegetables, from cucumbers to radishes, carrots to onions. Have some produce in your refrigerator that’s a little past its prime? Pickling is a quick and easy way to preserve it!

Adapted from Southern Living’s Little Jars, Big Flavors
Prep Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Enough mixed vegetables to fill your pint jar, sliced thin Try cucumbers, radishes, turnips, carrots, kohlrabi and/or summer squash
  • 2 Tbsp Pickling salt, divided
  • 2 dill sprigs
  • 1/2 cup Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp Dill seed

Instructions
 

  • Wash vegetables. If using cucumbers and/or squash, slice thin and toss in a colander in the sink with 1 Tbsp salt. Allow to drain 30 minutes. This will remove excess moisture from the cucumbers and squash, which would otherwise dilute your pickle brine. Slice remaining vegetables thin and combine with drained cucumber and/or squash.
  • Place dill sprigs in your clean pint jar. Pack vegetables in the jar, leaving 1/2" headspace.
  • Bring vinegar, sugar, 1 Tbsp salt, lemon juice, dill seed, and 1 cup water to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour hot pickling liquid over vegetables to cover. Apply lid to jar. Chill 24 hours before serving. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks.

Garlic Roasted Radishes

Garlic Roasted Radishes

Peppery when raw, radishes caramelize when roasted, revealing their mellow, sweeter side. Roasting them along with whole garlic cloves enhances their sweetness even further, a delicious flavor combination we like to serve alongside grilled or roasted meats. Even if you’re not a fan of raw radishes, give this recipe a whirl – you may find room on your plate for them after all!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Radishes
  • 2 Heads Garlic
  • 2-3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Scrub, trim and halve radishes (quarter if very large). Peel whole garlic cloves. In a large bowl, toss vegetables together with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spread vegetables on a baking sheet, ensuring radishes have their cut sides down on the surface to encourage browning.
  • Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes, or until the cut side of the radishes are golden brown and a knife blade slides easily through the center of a radish. The skins will wrinkle and take on a golden hue.
