Grandma Helen’s White Takuwan

This simple pickled turnip takes very little to make and can be enjoyed the very next day.

All it needs is 3 pantry ingredients; Sugar, Kosher Salt and White Vinegar.

The flavor is clean and crisp and will keep fresh in the fridge for at least a month or more.

I have a chart below for different amounts. I usually make only 1 quart at a time which is the perfect amount for my husband and I.
