Parsnips With Cherry Glaze

My husband just came up with this the other night and it was quite tasty. Remember to line the pan with foil for a much easier clean-up.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 6  parsnips
• 2  large  lemons, juice of
• 3⁄4 cup honey
• 1⁄2 cup red wine
• 2  tablespoons cherry juice, from jar
• 10  maraschino cherries, finely chopped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F/180°C.
2. Cut a piece of aluminum foil large enough to line the inside and over the edges of your roasting pan. This is a very important step or else you will have a sticky coating on your pan that you may not be able to get out.
3. Rinse parsnips, cut off ends and slice lengthwise into 4 pieces or more if parsnips are large. (I don't normally peel them, but you can if wish to do so). Place in foil lined pan in a single layer.
4. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, honey, red wine, and cherry juice. Combine thoroughly (a hand blender works great). Stir in chopped cherries. (If mixture seems too thin/too thick, add a little honey/wine to adjust as necessary).
5. Pour glaze over parsnips in pan and toss to coat, returning parsnips to a single layer.
6. Roast for 60-65 minutes. Baste and turn the parsnips every 15-20 minutes.
7. Transfer parsnips to a serving dish and drizzle with any remaining glaze.
