No Touch Turnips Paula Wolferts' Way Recipe

So here's how to do Glazed Turnips Peel two pounds of small turnips, or peel and cut down 2 pounds of regular size turnips Place the turnips in a clay pot.

Mix them with 3 Tbs of melted unsalted butter 2 tsp of sugar 3/4 tsp of salt 1/4 tsp of ground black pepper Add in 1/2 cup of water Cover the turnips with a wadded up piece of parchment paper Place the lid over that and cook for 45 minutes on a low heat.

Every now and then give the pot a shake, rolling around the turnips inside. Don't lift the lid while they're cooking.

When they're done and you do lift it, you will be rewarded.

Under the nest of damp parchment paper will be lovely little sweetly glazed beauties.
