Really Radish Relish

6/4/2013

When I was sowing carrot seeds in January, I decided to try a tip I had read - to mix a few radish seeds in with the carrot seeds, because carrot is slow to germinate whereas radish grows quickly - this would mark the location of the carrot seeds until they came up. Good idea - I thought.

Turns out that I, ahem, mixed a few too many radish seeds in. They grew quickly and well. Radish, after all, are one of the easiest things to grow. Unfortunately, my husband is the only one who likes to eat radish, and even he couldn't eat 4.5 kgs of radishes in a short period of time!

I have to admit though, they sure are pretty!

Anyway, not being one to waste homegrown food, even if it's not something I personally like, I began hunting around for some ideas of what to do with a bunch of radish. I finally decided on a Radish Relish recipe I found
HERE.

Turns out it's pretty yummy, even to a radish-hater like me!

I did a couple of things different than the recipe - first I roughly chopped the radishes, onions and celery, then I put them through the food processor to chop them more finely. When that was done, they looked like this:

And then, after mixing it with the rest of the ingredients and allowing it to stand for the required 3 hours, I brought it all to the boil, cooked it for 10 mins, then simply bottled it into hot sterile jars and sealed. Mine turned out a little darker and drier looking than the photo on the recipe page, but it works fine.

Oh, and by the way, the leaves of radish plants are a good salad addition.
