Cook Turnips
An excellent way to cook turnips is to cut half a dozen of them into thin slices and boil twenty-one minutes. Remove them from the water and, after draining, place in a baking dish and pour over them a half pint of clear soup stock, heated and seasoned with salt, cayenne and sugar. Bake until tender and baste from time to time with the stock. If the turnips are old, it will be necessary to leave them in the oven from half hour to an hour. Serve on a hot platter with the pan gravy, to which have been added butter and flour to thicken.
