Glazed Turnips

Peel some turnips and cut them into the shapes of small pears; put them in a saucepan with some water and a small quantity of salt, and boil them for ten minutes. Turn them on a sieve and leave them until thoroughly drained. Melt about one ounce of butter in a saucepan, put in the turnips, strew in plenty of powdered sugar, and toss them about over the fire until they begin to color. Moisten them with a small quantity of broth, season with salt, pepper, and a little ground cinnamon, and boil them gently until tender. When cooked pile the turnips on a hot dish, pour the sauce over them, and serve.
