We loved it. I knew you couldn’t put a tablespoon of salt so I just sprinkled shaker over top. I used nutmeg and cloves instead of allspice. Put cracked pepper on at serving. I used an aged sharp cheddar. -
I am so disappointed.... I think there is a typo in the recipe.... 1 Tablespoon of salt is WAY too much.... especially with all that cheese. I made it exactly as written despite my better judgement (Maybe that much salt will mellow the bitterness in the turnips as it slow cooks?) but NOOOOO don't do it. I think it must be 1 tsp. I will try it again because besides that I think it would have been good and my house smelled great with the allspice in there but alas... I had to throw away the season's last fresh turnips. maybe next year.... -
I won't rate it because maybe having it on warm for several hours after cooking caused it to be sour and bitter. However, when I did a pre-crock pot taste of it, it tasted pretty yummy. Was my first time to try turnips so if I make again...I'll just eat it as is and not put in the crock pot. -
This was very good and gave me more stove top room for the rest of the meal. I left out the allspice, just because I have never had allspice in turnip before. I will try it next time when I am not serving to company, just to see if I will add it in the future. Yes I will make this again, because it tastes good and once made I can forget about it. -
I love do ahead stuff. I had this done and in the crockpot the day before needed. Just plugged it in and 5 hours lated it is done with no fuss. Was excellent with a curry chicken dish I served. Thanks Northern_Reflectionz
