Turnips for Garnish

Peel the turnips, and then cut them to any fancy shape desired, such as corks, balls, etc. Blanch them in boiling water for five minutes, leave them till cool, drain, and put them into a saucepan with sufficient broth to cook them in; season with a little salt and sugar, and boil the turnips till they are rather soft. They are then ready for garnish.
