Pickled Radish Pods - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 fluid ounces radishes, pods
2 ounces salt
2 dried chilies
10 fluid ounces white wine vinegar

Preparation

Pick the pods on a dry day, sort through them and discard any that are blemished or hard.
Make up a brine with salt and 1 pint water and plunge the pods into it while still hot. If they look bright green they are ready for pickling. If not, strain them off, re-boil the brine and repeat the process.
Strain off the brine and wash the pods under cold water to get rid of excess salt.
Drain well and pack into clean, sterilised jars with the dried chillis.
Heat up the vinegar and boil for 5 mins, then cool.
Pour over the pods, seal and store for a couple of months.
