Preheat oven to 350°F

1. Peel and slice the turnips into 1/2” (1.25-cm) slices. Cut the slices to a size that would be suitable for a serving

2. Boil the turnip for at least 10 minutes, until it is just tender. Do not overcook or the slices will break when transferred to the pans.

3. Meanwhile, simmer the apple juice or cider in a pot to reduce the amount to 3 cups (750 mL). Add the honey and ginger and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the salt and pepper.

4. Transfer the turnip slices to the pans. Evenly distribute the apple juice/honey mixture over the turnip slices.

5. Bake for about 5 minutes on each side or until the slices appear glazed.

In the Acadian tradition, glazed turnip was served with fresh strawberries for dessert or as a vegetable in the main course. To make this dish more colourful, substitute carrots for one half of the turnip. This recipe goes well with baked beans (canned) or prepared chicken strips.
