Ingredients

2 ½ lb turnips, peeled and cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch-thick wedges or sticks (about 8 cup)
6 6 slices peeled beet
6 whole large cloves garlic, sliced
3 cup distilled white vinegar or cider vinegar
3 cup water
2 Tbsp plus 2 teaspoon sea salt
2 Tbsp sugar

Directions

1. Divide turnips among 6 pint-size (2-cup) canning jars or similar-size tempered-glass or heatproof-plastic containers with lids. Add 1 beet slice to each jar (this dyes the pickles pink) and divide the garlic slices among the jars.

2. Combine vinegar, 3 cups water, salt and sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

3. Carefully fill jars (or containers) with brine to within 1/2 inch of the rim, covering the turnips completely. (Discard any leftover brine.)

4. Place the lids on the jars (or containers). Refrigerate for at least 1 week before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
