Preserving Your Garden Fresh Radishes

One of the very first crops I put into the ground every year is my radishes… needless to say I am a radish fanatic, I cannot get enough. This is a crop that if I could grow all year long I would, sadly  we do have winter here so I cannot grow them outside during those months.. so finding a way to preserve my lovelies was like finding gold at the end of the rainbow.

So let’s find out how to do this. Thanks to Ball® jars for this great recipe idea.
