Quick-Pickled Turmeric Turnips

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 1 quart pickles
  • Total: 6 hr 40 min (includes chilling time)
  • Active: 10 min
These quick-pickled turnips are stained a beautiful golden yellow from the turmeric in all that tangy brine. The crisp root vegetable retains its mild spice, which gets added depth from floral and fruity coriander seeds and peppercorns. Throw the pickles on a sandwich or in a salad for extra crunch and a load of vibrant color.

4 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 pound small turnips, peeled, halved and thinly sliced

Directions

Special equipment:
a 1-quart jar
  1. Heat 1 1/2 cups water and 2 tablespoons kosher salt in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the vinegar, sugar, coriander seeds, peppercorns and turmeric and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the salt and sugar, 1 to 2 minutes.
