"My grandmother made these when I was a kid...and I searched the web for a recipe...with no luck...so I gave it a try tonite and the result was very good...i know that what I did wasn't the way that granny did it...but hey...the end result was still good.."

ingredients

• 5 turnips (peeled)
• 3 teaspoons sugar

1. Peel turnips and slice.

3. Melt butter, then add the sugar, stirring almost continously.
4. Add the turnips, and additional oil, and bring the turnips to a hard fry, then reduce heat, and cover.
5. Cook, stirring often, until the turnips are browned and done -- then enjoy.
