Turnips

1. 1

   Peel and cut up rutabags or turnips, put into a large saucepan, with water half full.

2. 2

   Turn heat till high to get to boiling, then turn down heat to low and simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until tender.

3. 3

   Strain, put into the same saucepan, and mash with a masher or a mixer.

4. 4

   1/4 Add pound butter, and some milk, mash together more.

5. 5

   Put in some brown sugar, start with about 3 tbsp (45 ml) and add more to taste.

6. 6

   (The more brown sugar you add the more sweeter it is, turnips are sour to begin with so you need to add and taste as you go.)

7. 7

   Serve warm with turkey or ham goes best with that.
