          You would need to process the cans properly to make sure they are safe to keep for that long. This recipe, as is, isn’t suitable for that purpose.

        These are not canned in the way that they need to be to be shelf stable. You haven’t processed them for enough time to kill any bacteria which might be lingering, nor has this recipe been tested in a lab. These should only be stored in a fridge.

    OMG and here I thought I was the only creative “pickler” to have thought of using radishes to pickle. Here in Hawaii, produce, as well as EVERYTHING! is expensive since items, not grown locally, must be shipped here to our islands. Thus, one day, I spotted some cheaper-than-white-turnips red radishes at our farmer’s market, and bought them to use for my Japanese pickles. Family and friends loved this “new idea” esp since it did not use the typical artificial yellow food coloring…always a must for the popular Japanese Takuwan Turnip pickles recipes.
    Putting them in Ball jars would make them extra special! Talk about Ball jars, they will again be a part of my life on my berry-picking trip to Oregon next month. My son-in-law is taking me on my first, looked forward to for decades trip to pick and preserve blackberries which I’ve never seen or prepared in my lifetime, having grown up in Hawaii. Wish me luck as I’ve heard that picking blackberries, with all of their thorns, is not easy! Being a senior citizen, I hope I can correctly credit you on Facebook, to be eligible to winning your pickling kit! Thank you for your sharing of this radish pickle recipe!

    I LOVE making homemade pickles Alida, but have yet to try pickled radishes! I’m definitely game though! On my list! They sound delish!

      You really must! They have quite a cabbagey vibe to them once they’re pickled which I really like.

        I really appreciate your step by step instruction. I think I’ll buy some radishes and some chili. I like spicy food. They can be made into spicy?

      I don’t have much fridge space – any way to shelf store them?

        Shelf storage is only recommended if you can then properly in sterilized jars, etc.

          Any idea what the amount of processing time would be to have extended shelf life? I too have limited frig room and have lots of radishes and would love to do this with them so as not to waste

            Unfortunately I have never tried preserving them for extended shelf life so I won’t be able to give accurate advice.
