Ingredients
- 🥒 4 pounds of radishes (trimmed and washed thoroughly)
- 🍠 4 beets, raw, unpeeled, and washed
- 🌶️ 4 Serrano chilies (optional), sliced into thin circles
- 🧂 8 tablespoons kosher salt (2 tablespoons per jar)
- 🌶️ 4 teaspoons peppercorns (1 teaspoon per jar)
- 🌿 4 bay leaves (1 per jar)
- 🍶 2 cups white distilled vinegar (½ cup per jar)
- 💧 Room temp filtered water, to fill jars
Instructions
- Prepare the Radishes and Beets:
- Trim the radish tops and tails and wash them thoroughly. You can use a sink with a mild soap solution if needed, but ensure they are well-rinsed to remove any soap residue.
- Scrub the beets clean and slice them into thin half-moon shapes.
- Slice the Serrano Chilies (Optional):
- If you enjoy a bit of heat, slice the chilies into thin circles.
- Layer the Ingredients:
- In each clean mason jar (32-ounce size), start with a few beet slices at the bottom.
- Add radishes until the jar is half filled.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sliced Serrano chilies on top of the radishes if using.
- Add 1 bay leaf.
- Layer more beet slices.
- Fill the rest of the jar with whole radishes, packing tightly.
- Add Seasoning and Liquid:
- To each jar, add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of peppercorns, and ½ cup of white distilled vinegar.
- Top off with filtered water, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top.
- Seal and Ferment:
- Secure the lids on tightly. Allow jars to sit at room temperature for 2 days to ferment slightly.
- Refrigerate and Enjoy:
- After fermentation, move jars to the refrigerator. This halts fermentation and enhances crispness.
- Ready to enjoy once chilled.
Storage
Keep refrigerated and consume within 1-2 months for the best flavor and texture.
Extra Tips
- For a more subtle beet flavor, reduce the number of beet slices used.
- Adjust the amount of Serrano chilies to control the level of heat.
