Sweet Pickles: Radish & Cranberries

When we were in Solvang, we had the perfect salad in a restaurant called ” Petros Kafe”.

There was some strange pieces of radish- and I was disappointed, because I don’t like radish.
I hate changing dishes, it’s always uncomfortable for me. Like a kid, I removed all the radish to one side, but one piece found its way into my mouth and guessed what it tasted pretty good.
Mother had already flown back home to Israel and Thanksgiving was approaching. That was my first Thanksgiving. Every grocery store sold fresh cranberries. I have never seen fresh cranberries in Israel, and I bought a package – because if the dried ones are so good then the fresh ones must be much better. Well I was wrong.

I bought a pretty big bag and it’s a sin to throw food. I thought about what could be done with them that would fit our Detox diet.
After a few days we were back at the supermarket and the radishes were so beautiful there that even though I don’t like their taste I bought some. I decided that I would try to make the radish we ate in Solvang and add some cranberries.

Dee, my American mother, gave me a recipe for pickled beets, and I decided to try the same spices on the radish and the cranberries. I love pickels so what can go wrong?
The result was quite successful, and it’s nice to add it to salads, and even eat it as a snack.
