Pickled Turnips
Report
You can dial down the amount of garlic, but I like the slightly aggressive flavor of the slices in the brine. Use whatever white salt is available where you are, but avoid fine table salt as it’s quite unpleasant and bitter. Gray salt will discolor the brine.
For those who like to tinker, although these are usually served as they are, a few sprigs of fresh dill, or dill flowers, in the brine will take them in a different direction. A hot pepper will add some zip.

Ingredients
- 3 cups (750ml) water
- 1/3 cup (70g) coarse white salt such as kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup (250ml) white vinegar distilled
- 2- pounds (1kg) turnips peeled
- 1 small beet or a few slices from a regular-size beet, peeled
- 3 cloves garlic peeled and thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a saucepan, heat about one-third of the water. Add the salt and bay leaf, stirring until the salt is dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Once cool, add the vinegar and the rest of the water.
- Cut the turnips and the beet into batons, about the size of French fries. Put the turnips, beets, and garlic slices into a large, clean jar, then pour the salted brine over them in the jar, including the bay leaf.
- Cover and let sit at room temperature, in a relatively cool place, for one week. Once done, they can be refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Storage: The pickles will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator. They’ll be rather strong at first, but will mellow after a few days. They should be enjoyed within a six weeks after they’re made, as they tend to get less-interesting if they sit too long. If you are interested in canning, check here for tips on canning pickles.
