Ingredients

1 rutabaga
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
4 teaspoons salt
jalapeño or dried chili pepper, optional

Instructions

Wash rutabaga well, remove top and bottom and peel. Cut into four equal pieces, then slice into ⅛-inch-thick pieces. Put rutabaga and remaining ingredients into a food bag. Shake to mix. Place in refrigerator to soak for 1-2 days, occasionally turning the bag upside down. Celery, turnips and radish would also be delicious. Serves 4
