Radishes

Wow are the radishes coming fast and furious in the garden! Not complaining we are big fans of them-I tried a new recipe over the weekend that if you are a fan of them also-you absolutely have to try it.

It is radish butter
1/2 pound of radishes-trimmed and at room temp
6 Tbsp softened butter-cut into tablespoon pieces
salt and pepper to taste

Put radishes in food processor and pulse a few times to create small chunks. Remove from processor and squeeze out all liquid by using cheese cloth or a double thick papertowel.

Return to food processor and add butter one tablespoon at a time to incorporate evenly. Once all combined remove to a container and top with salt and pepper.

Serve with crunchy bread that has been lightly heated or celery sticks.

Enjoy!

  2. The only way I have pckled them before is a quick pickle with purple onions and jalapeno's. Take enough vinegar to cover what you are pickling and bring it to a boil with about 1/3 part sugar-pour the boiling liquid over the onions, radishes and jalapeno's which you have put in a jar with a lid. Let sit for at least 3-4 hours-there you have it. If you want a more tender onion, put the onions in the vinegar while bringing to a boil to dissolve sugar.

    This is great on pulled pork or even a burger!
