I brought this side dish to Christmas dinner last evening...it was a hit for sure, and the hostess asked for the recipe! I, too, substituted turnips for parsnips. Also, I added Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt and quite a few turns of ground black pepper (as the recipe did not call for any salt or pepper) to create a bit of a savoury taste as well. (I especially love the black pepper added.) Next time I will add the balsmaic as well...sounds wonderful! The dish was served with a fabulous ham and other wonderful sides. Would definitely make it again.12/26/09

I love this! The flavors just mend together so well. And it's so simple. I make it just as directed, and it always turns out great.11/01/09
