Default Pickling radishes?

Anyone have a recipe before I experiment? My garden is producing a bumper crop this year. Looking for a recipe I can process in a boiling water bath to preserve them.

In colonial days, pickled radishes were a mainstay. Indeed, all sorts of things got pickled that we don't think of nowadays.

Anyway, I adapted a ca 1720 recipe several years ago, and it works out really well. Except I have no idea how long they will last, put by, because the go so fast.

Pickled Radishes

2 dozen radishes
1 cup sugar
1 cup cider vinegar
1 tbls mustard seed
1/2 tsp celery seed
2 tsp dill weed

Stem radishes. Cut into roses if desired.

Mix all other ingredients in a saucepan. Heat until sugar is melted and mixutre is clear. Add radishes.

Keep in fridge, or process in boiling water bath 10 minutes.

Thanks I will have to try that one. I know what you mean about not lasting. I make pickled green beans that never seem to last beyond the curing stage. I hid a quart for my BBQ this year though
