Recipe View Serve the caramelized turnips immediately while they are warm and the caramel is still glossy and slightly sticky.

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.
