Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
- In a large heavy skillet cook vegetables in butter with sugar and salt and pepper to taste over moderately low heat, stirring, until heated through and glazed, about 4 minutes.
GLAZED CARROTS AND TURNIPS
Purple turnips are much milder than yellow ones and are much easier to cut. My Mom used to make this with pearl onions, but I don't care for them and make it without them and it is delicious.

Steps:
- Cut a 12" round of parchment paper; snip a hole about the size of a quarter in the center of round. Combine turnips, carrots, 8 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and ginger in a 12" skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Rest parchment round on top of vegetables (do not cover with lid).
- Simmer over medium-high heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Discard parchment; add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and chestnuts. Simmer, swirling pan often, until a glaze forms, 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl. Garnish with herbs.
Tips:
- Choose firm, unblemished carrots and turnips. Smaller vegetables will cook more evenly.
- Peel the carrots and turnips if desired. Leaving the skin on adds more nutrients and color to the dish.
- Cut the carrots and turnips into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. For example, cut carrots into 2-inch pieces and turnips into 1-inch cubes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and turnips and cook until tender, about 10 minutes for carrots and 15 minutes for turnips. Drain the vegetables well.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the carrots and turnips and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, brown sugar, water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are glazed.
- Serve the glazed carrots and turnips immediately.
