Pickled Turnips

Pickled Turnips deliver a lively tang with a subtle garlic bite and a gorgeous pink hue from beet slices. Crisp and zippy, they’re perfect tucked into wraps, alongside grilled meats, or as a bright accent on mezze platters. Make a batch when you want a punchy, refreshing condiment that stands out on the table.

Pickled Turnips
  1. 1

    Check two 16-ounce Mason jars for cracks and the rings for rust, discarding any that are defective. Keep them in simmering water until the vegetables are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.

  2. 2

    Split the turnips, beet, and garlic between the hot, sterilized jars.

  3. 3

    Mix the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Pour the vinegar mixture over the turnip mixture, filling to within 1/2 inch of the tops.

  4. 4

    Wipe the rims with a damp paper towel to remove any residue. Place the lids on the jars; screw the rings on tightly. Pickle in the refrigerator for 1 week.
