Instructions

Step 1

Trim and peel turnips and cut them into 1⁄2" cubes; transfer them to a medium saucepan.

Step 2

Peel and core the apple and cut it into 1⁄2" cubes. Add apples to turnips along with raisins, butter, nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Add málaga or sherry, season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and stir to combine. Bring the turnip mixture to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are tender but retain their shape, about 45 minutes. Serve warm.
