Last year my crop was a disaster (sowing too late) this year I have a
surplus. The smaller 6 inch radish are ideal raw in a salad.
The larger 18 inch ones, my wife bakes into a Cantonese savoury cake.
However, I am interested in pickling the smaller ones. Is this possible ?
TIA

OTH, I have successfully pickled radishes for the short term (less than 6 mo)
by preparing the marinade of my choice based on (rice is nice or white wine)
vinegar, a little salt or soy, onions or garlic. Joy of Pickling has a couple
recipes I think.

Thanks Edrena for the recipe info. I tried googling and found that my radish
is a Daikon Radish variety Mino Early. I also found a site with a couple of
hundred recipes which has prob been mentioned on this group :-

Agreed, I would rather add a few raisons or sultanas to a salad than eat
sugary pickles - although Mango chutney is hard to resist. BTW, a question
on pickled gerkins. Are gerkins the same as baby courgettes ? I have a dozen
or so courgette plants starting to crop, but can't find gerkin seed in any
of the catalogues.

Are these like daikon(lobo or lobok)? If so there is a vietnamese pickle
with carrot in the new Bernardin book, and it is probably on the Canadian
part of Alltrista's website.

The Japanese pickle these in a rice bran mash I think. I have picked them up
bagged in a oriental food store, after pickling, they have a yellow color to
them.

It's called nuka... and it's a salt ferment. First step is to get the
nuka fermenting and I forget how to do that and I don't have the
Japanese cookbooks handy.

It's not for long-term storage though. It's like you stick the veggies
into the mash and let them ferment for a day at most, most of the time
just a few hours.

might get a hit.

Aren't courgettes what most Muricans call eggplant?
