Cookpad member “Pinkblanket’s Kitchen” posted a beautiful, sophisticated recipe for pickling daikon and carrots with 10% white vinegar. Thank you, Mrs Pinkblanket. I like to make that with my farm made 5% apple cider vinegar recipe, sugar and spices, and made a jar to see how that works when mixing carrots with daikon. Here is the recipe. It took half a year to see how the flavors and textures develop, but it sure looks pretty already and tastes good after a week. The turmeric will turn the white daikon sticks yellow.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
