• 1 kg baby turnips, washed, topped, tailed - peeled and quartered if larger
• 1 raw beetroot, washed, peeled and sliced - this gives the lovely colour
• 400 ml red wine vinegar
• 1 litre water
• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon allspice berries
• 1 bulb of garlic - broken into cloves, trimmed and peeled but left whole
• 3 to 5 tablespoons of sea salt
• Sugar to taste

Mise en place

• Plunge the washed and trimmed roots into boiling water for a 30 seconds just to ensure they are really clean - pat dry.

Sterilise the pickling jar

Method

1. Add the water, vinegar, peppercorns and allspice and half of the salt to a large pan, heat and dissolve the salt.

4. Layer the sterilised jar with turnips, beetroot slices and garlic.
5. Completely cover with vinegar and seal the lid.
6. The pickled turnips should be ready in 1 week.
