Important Notes for Pickling Radish :

1. Container matters : Refrigerator Pickles should be stored in glass jars, not plastic containers. I use mason jars for refrigerator pickles and salad dressings. You can use any glass jar with a tight lid.

2. Smell : Radish pickles can give off a strong odor if it sits long time in refrigerator. Make sure you use a tight lid for the container and try to use it with in 4 weeks. 

Happy Cooking,
