Notes

  • Rutabaga are known as swedes in many parts of the world. Do not confuse them with turnips. Turnips are usually purpley while whilst Rutabagas/Swede are usually a yellowy and brown maybe with hints of red or purple.
  • Use real maple syrup here, the flavored syrups burn quickly and don't have the depth of flavor you need.
