Sun Saver Winnie Fung’s tips for pickling radishes got me thinking . . . what else can you “vinegar-up” to save money?

For Winnie’s pickled radish, peel and slice the radish, pop it into a bowl, sprinkle with salt and leave for two hours to draw out the moisture.

Meanwhile, put 2 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp chili flakes, 2 tbsp sugar, 250ml water and 250ml white vinegar into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved, then set aside to cool.

When the radish is ready, drain away the water, pop the slices into jars and pour over the pickling liquid, covering fully. Store in the fridge.
