  1. Turn about two dozen pieces of turnips into the form of rings, about two inches in diameter, or else in the shape of small pears.
  2. Put them into a deep sautapan, thickly spread with fresh butter, and strewed with about two ounces of pounded sugar.
  3. Moisten with about half a pint of good consommé, and set the turnips to simmer very gently over a moderate stove-fire for about forty minutes.
  4. When they are nearly done, remove the lid, and place them over a brisk fire to boil the moisture down to a glaze, gently rolling the turnips in this with great care, to avoid breaking them.
  5. They must then be dished up in neat order, and the glaze poured over them.
