How to Make Garbage Pickles
- Trim both ends of each radish and cut them into quarters.
- Pack the radish quarters tightly into a small-mouth pint jar (or several, depending on the amount of radishes), evenly spacing 2-3 cloves of garlic around the jar.
- Prepare the brine: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/4 cup pickling salt, and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the salt is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Pour the cooled brine over the radishes in the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch headspace at the top.
- Securely cap the jar.
- Turn the jar upside down and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks to pickle. (You can leave them longer for a more intense flavor!)
- You'll notice the vinegar's magic at work—the red skin on the radishes will gradually break down, resulting in a beautiful pink hue throughout the pickles and brine.
- Once the pickling period is complete, store the Garbage Pickles in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
