How to Make Turnip Pickles Lebanese Style

  1. Wash 1 kg of turnips thoroughly. Peel off any dark spots and slice off the top and base.
  2. Cut the turnips and 500g of beetroot into thin, even slices (about 1/4 inch thick).
  3. In a large saucepan, bring 1 liter of water to a boil. Add 200g of sugar and 50g of salt.
  4. Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
  5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the brine to cool completely.
  6. Sterilize your jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Let them air dry completely.
  7. Layer the turnip and beetroot slices in the sterilized jars. Begin with a layer of turnips, followed by a layer of beetroot, and repeat until the jars are full.
  8. Carefully pour the cooled brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged. Leave about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  9. Securely tighten the lids on the jars. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 20 days before enjoying. The flavor will deepen over time.
