PICKLED BABY TURNIPS



Pickled Baby Turnips image

I didn't know how delicious these would be until I came back from a trip 10 days after pickling some gorgeous baby red turnips. Initially they tasted sort of blah, but after 10 days they were infused with the pickling brine, which contrasted beautifully with their innate pungent, almost piquant turnip flavor. Cut them into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick at the widest point.

2 cups baby turnips, cut in thin wedges (about 1/4 to 1/3 inch at the widest point), or sliced in half-moons

1 tablespoon (15 grams) sherry vinegar
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1 cup (230 grams) water
2 1/4 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt
