  1. Sleeper hit at the Halloween party! Served as a condiment to braised beef tongue alongside Willdly Pink Pickled onions and Horseradish cream - the crispy mildly pickled, mildly hot baby turnips were absolutely wonderful - a quart jar was demolished by a party of 15. Keeper recipe - thanks for posting!
