Ingredients for Amana Radish Relish

  • Radish
  • Onion
  • Whole Allspice
  • Whole Cloves
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
  • White Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Water

How to Make Amana Radish Relish

  1. **Prep the Vegetables:** Thinly slice 4 cups of radishes and finely chop 1 medium onion. Set aside.
  2. **Create the Spice Packet:** Wrap 1 teaspoon whole allspice berries, 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves, and 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds in a small square of cheesecloth. Tie securely with kitchen twine.
  3. **Combine Ingredients:** In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced radishes, chopped onion, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. **Simmer with Spices:** Add the spice-filled cheesecloth to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. **Reduce and Simmer:** Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
  6. **Steep for Flavor:** Remove the spice packet from the saucepan. Pour the spiced vinegar mixture over the vegetables and let it steep for 15 minutes.
  7. **Jar and Cool:** Pour the relish into a clean pint jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Let cool slightly.
  8. **Refrigerate:** Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to fully develop. Enjoy! Keeps for up to 2 weeks refrigerated.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
