So, I must admit that turnips aren't my favorite vegetable but they are very seasonal and I want to like them. They came in my fresh food box and I was determined to find a way to enjoy them! This recipe was a success - it's delicious! I like the hint of sweetness; and the combination of turnips and carrots is quite good. It's also a quick side dish for any night of the week.
GLAZED CARROTS & TURNIPS
adapted slightly from the Food Network
3/4 pound turnips, cut into 1-inch pieces
3/4 pound carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 Tb. butter
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put the vegetables in a skillet just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add enough water so that it comes halfway up their sides along with the butter and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, then adjust the heat to maintain a simmer. Cover with a lid set ajar. Simmer the vegetables until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cover and raise the heat to high. Toss the vegetables frequently in the pan, as the liquid evaporates to a shiny smooth glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

This is delicious! I tried it out in my new kitchen last night and it was a hit with all but one kiddo. I also added sliced cabbage at the end when you take the lid off and it was so good. Thanks for the great recipe!
