Recipe - Pickled Turnips

1 Chinese white turnip
1 cup Vinegar
2 tablespoon Sugar
One half teaspoon Salt
1 ds Pepper
One fourth teaspoon Paprika

1. Peel Chinese white turnip. Cut lengthwise in half, then in 1/4inch
slices. Place in a bowl.

2. Bring vinegar to a boil and stir in sugar to dissolve. Pour over
turnip. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and refrigerate, covered, overnight.

3. Drain, and sprinkle with paprika before serving.

VARIATIONS: For the Chinese turnip, substitute regular turnips. Peel and
slice thin. Then sprinkle with salt, let stand 1 hour and drain. Heat the
vinegar and sugar, as in step 2, but add the turnips to the pan and simmer,
covered, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool in the pan. Then
refrigerate, covered, overnight.

For the turnip, substitute the following vegetables in any combination:
cauliflower (parboiled) or carrots, cucumbers, green peppers, chili
peppers, round cabbage. Slice or dice the vegetables. Increase the amount
of dressing as you increase the vegetables.
