Glazed Rutabagas

These glazed rutabagas look like topaz when cooked down with brown sugar, cider vinegar, and butter. My friend Jule adores rutabagas and thrift store jewelry. I came up with this dish for her.

Ingredients

1 large rutabaga (about 2 pounds), peeled and cut in 1/2-inch dice

Preparation

  1. Put the rutabaga in a large skillet and add enough salted water to cover. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until slightly tender.
