  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the boiling mixture. Stir for a minute and remove from heat.

  3. Pack radish slices into a clean, hot 1-pint Ball® jar. Pour hot pickling liquid over radishes, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.

  4. Remove air bubbles, adjust headspace if needed, and wipe rim. Apply the Ball® lid and band, and adjust until fit is fingertip tight.
