For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt and black pepper to the turnips while they are simmering. A knob of butter at the end really enhances the glaze! If the caramel starts to burn, reduce the heat immediately. Try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during the last minute of cooking for a tangy twist. These caramelized turnips are also delicious served cold or at room temperature.
