That really does sound like a good idea Mashel!  I love radishes on all sorts of things, one of the BEST is on tacos!  Onions are too onion-y IMO, but radishes have such a nice peppery bite instead of hot, they’re especially good on fish tacos!  Diced up green onions are nice though, and if anyone has kids, the little round rings can help them appreciate a mild onion flavor without scaring them off from onions completely.

I know you can freeze butter with no problem, most places say it’s safe for anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, but when I buy it on sale, it gets frozen for as long as it needs to be!  I’ve never had a problem with it, I stick a date sticker on it so I can use the oldest first for baking, and the ‘not-so-old’ for the dinner table.

***  Radish butter sounds really good for using on a sandwich or crackers and snacks, or dinner rolls with the right meal. I do suspect that the liquid in radishes might change the texture especially when freezing, but, mixing it up and freezing in small amounts that you will be able to use up completely fairly fast when you defrost it would be a good idea.  I’d say for sure to always defrost in the fridge so remember to take it out the night before you need it.

All that being said, I have some radishes in the fridge now so I’m goin‘ to go mix some up, but I doubt if it will last long enough to get frozen!   We’re not eating very many big meals in this heat so snacks are the order of the day for us!

Well, I failed in the radish butter assignment, I was making some chicken salad for sandwiches at lunch today and it occurred to me that some of those radishes would provide some nice crunch and flavor in there since I didn’t have any celery and didn’t really want onion in it.  It was mighty tasty!  It will have to wait for another day!
