Pickled Turnips
Pickled Turnips are made by soaking peeled, baton-cut turnips and diced beets in a vinegar-brine mixture flavored with garlic and bay leaves. This preserves the turnips while imparting a tangy, slightly sweet, and mildly garlicky flavor. After preparing the vinegar solution, the vegetables are submerged and allowed to ferment at room temperature for several days before refrigeration. The result is a crunchy, bright, and slightly sweet pickled vegetable condiment.

Instructions
- In a wide-mouthed 32 ounce glass mason jar (this is what I have), place the hot water, vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic and bay leaves. Stir continuously until the salt and sugar dissolve.
- Add the turnips and beets in the jar, making sure they are submerged in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool.
- When cool, seal the glass jar tightly and allow to sit for 5 days at room temperature in a cool dark place. Refrigerate afterwards and use within one month.

Notes
- Store pickled turnips in a cool, dry place before refrigeration.
- Once opened, keep the jar refrigerated and use within one month to maintain quality and flavor.
