Another Favorite ~ Glazed Root Vegetables ~ Crock Pot Side Dish

Did you freeze any parsnips, turnips or carrots from your garden?  Or have some in your root cellar?  We love this side dish.

In a crock pot, place:

All organic/homegrown ingredients

4 carrots, washed, peeled and sliced
2 parsnips, washed, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 turnip, washed, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces

Top with 1/2 cup brown sugar, dot with 2 Tbsp. butter, and pour in 1/2 cup of water.

Salt to taste.

Cover.  Cook on low 3-4 hours.  I typically turn mine on high for an hour than back to low to speed up the process.

A dear friend in a landvfar away who taught me how to spin made this with the addition of beets and the omission of the sugar I will try your offering can’t go wrong.

Goatldi, I bet it would be awesome with beets and no sugar too. The parsnips are sort of on the sweet side.

I will be trying this with a roast at the weekend, I will cut down on the sugar though, or maybe replace it all together with a drizzle of Maple Syrup.
With some pulses added it would make a great veggy meal so that will be tried as well.
