Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Jars: Ensure two pint-sized jars are free from cracks. Submerge them in simmering water to sterilize. Wash new lids and rings with warm, soapy water. (5 minutes)

02

Step
8 mins

Create the Brine: In a medium saucepan, combine water, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow to cool slightly, about 2 minutes. (8 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Pack the Vegetables: Evenly distribute the carrots, daikon radish, cucumbers, and jalapeño slices between the two sterilized jars. (5 minutes)

04

Step
30 mins

Infuse with Flavor: Carefully pour the hot brine over the vegetables in each jar, ensuring they are fully submerged. Let the jars cool to room temperature. (30 minutes)

05

Step
1 hrs

Chill and Serve: Secure the lids and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. The pickled vegetables will continue to develop flavor as they chill. (1 hour)

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños before slicing.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as cauliflower florets or green beans.
These pickles are best after 24 hours, allowing the flavors to fully meld.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one month. The color of the radish may leach into the other vegetables over time, but this does not affect the flavor.
