Radish Preserves (Russian Style)

Take black radishes, clean and cut them in strips.

Weigh, and to three pounds of radishes take one pound of honey and one and one-half pounds of sugar.

Set the radishes on to boil with water, pour off this water, add fresh water and let cook awhile; pour off the second water, add the honey to radishes and let cook well.

Then add the sugar and let cook again.

When the radishes begin to get brown add one-quarter pound of white ginger, and some walnuts broken into quarters.

Stir.

When brown, remove from stove. Must come out of the pan dry; no syrup must remain.
