One year,I grew turnips and had so many,I didn't know what to do with them,so I decided to pickle them,I had pickled turnips at a restaurant several years ago and loved them so I thought I'd try making them myself. I've also made these by heating the brine and pouring them over the turnips and refrigerating over night,they're good that way but allowing them to sit for a week makes a more flavorful pickled turnip. These are good as a snack,with a sandwich or in a green salad.I keep them in the refrigerator.
