Pickled Turnips Or Radishes

1. 1

   1. Place the turnips in a bowl or jar.

2. 2

   2. In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the salt and stir well. Pour over the turnips, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the turnips to keep them submerged. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.

   Advance preparation: These benefit from a week or longer in brine and will last for a couple of weeks.

   Variation: Pickled Radishes

5. 5

   This isn't really a variation, though radishes can look a lot like baby red turnips. They're not as pungent and require less time in the brine. Slice the radishes or, if they're large, cut in half-moons. Cover with the brine and eat within a few days. They don't benefit from a long brining period as turnips do.
