Ingredients

  • 1 whole White Turnip
  • 1/4 cups Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Water
  • 1/4 teaspoons Turmeric
  • 1 pinch Cayenne

Instructions

  1. Peel and chop turnip in to 1/2" cubes. Blanch the turnip in boiling salted water until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well.
  2. In a small, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, cook the remaining ingredients, stirring occasionally until it is thick and large "foamy" bubbles appear (250°F).
  3. Stir in the turnip and continue to cook, until the water has reduced, and the turnip is coated in a caramel, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Remove from the heat and serve hot.
