(Javanese recipe) Takuan Pickled Daikon Radish (making good daikon radish pickle)

[Guest guest]

Tha daikon radish is easy to find now in most grocery

stores, it's a large white long thick radish, you can

also find at the Asian market. Makes a wonderful

appetizer, my coworkers love this with lunch

and I always have a bowl on the table when I

entertain.

Takuan Pickled Daikon Radish (Javanese recipe)

 

1 cup kosher salt

1 gallon water + 1 cup water

1 large daikon radish

3 cups white cider vinegar

2 cups sugar

 

Dissolve the salt in 1 gallon of water.

Peel and slice the daikon.

Place the daikon in a ceramic or glass crock and cover

with the brine. It is vital that the brine completely

covers the daikon.

Soak the daikon for 4 or 5 days, don't refrigerate,

this will pickle the daikon.

In a saucepan combine the 1c water, vinegar, and

sugar. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cool.

Place drained daikon in a glass bowl and cover with

vinegar mix.

Cover bowl and refrigerate at least 3 days before

serving.

These pickles will keep about 2 months in the refrigerator.
