Description

These glazed turnips offer a delightful balance of earthy vegetables and sweet fruit. By pressure cooking yellow turnips with dried apricots, the dish achieves a tender texture and deep, rich flavor profile. The brown sugar and butter create a glossy, caramelized coating that enhances the natural sweetness of the turnips. This vegetarian side dish is perfect for holiday dinners, weeknight meals, or as a comforting addition to roasted meat entrees. The combination of savory and sweet notes makes it a versatile and appealing choice for any table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Soak the dried apricots in warm water for 1 hour to soften them, then drain.
  2. Place the cubed yellow turnips and soaked apricots into the pressure cooker.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pressure cooker.
  4. Seal the lid and bring the cooker to high pressure (15 lbs).
  5. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the turnips are tender but not mushy.
  6. Quick release the pressure by running cool water over the cooker or using the venting valve.
  7. Open the lid and transfer the contents to a saucepan if not already on the stove.
  8. Stir in the brown sugar and butter or margarine.
  9. Heat over low flame, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens into a glossy glaze coating the turnips.

Note

For a dairy-free version, use margarine or a plant-based butter substitute.

If you do not have a pressure cooker, you can simmer the turnips and water in a covered saucepan for 10-15 minutes until tender, then proceed with the glazing step.

Leftover glazed turnips can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water to restore the glaze's consistency.

For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the glaze mixture.
