How to Make Amana Radish Relish
- **Prep the Vegetables:** Thinly slice 4 cups of radishes and finely chop 1 medium onion. Set aside.
- **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.
- **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.
- **Simmer with Spices:** Add the spice-filled cheesecloth to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- **Reduce and Simmer:** Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld.
- **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.
- **Jar and Cool:** Pour the relish into a clean pint jar, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Let cool slightly.
- **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.
