Guest guest Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Eat Closer to Home Going to your local farmers’ market is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, connect with people in your community, and support the local economy. Buying seasonal, local produce helps the environment by cutting down on the use of precious natural resources it takes to ship produce from a distance. And it helps ensures that you’re getting fruits and veggies that are bred to optimal taste, not optimal preservation. Maple-Glazed Parsnips This recipe is for everyone with a sweet tooth. The sugar in the parsnips comes to the fore when paired with maple syrup, which cooks down to a beautiful nut-brown glaze. Ingredient List Serves 6 1/2 cup real maple syrup 1/3 cup apple cider 2 Tbs. butter 1/4 tsp. salt 2 lbs. parsnips, peeled and cut into 3x1/2-inch sticks Directions Preheat oven to 350F. In small saucepan, bring maple syrup, cider, butter and salt to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 5 minutes. Spread parsnips in shallow 9x13-inch ovenproof dish, and pour syrup mixture over them, tossing to coat well. Cover dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 450F. Uncover dish, and bake parsnips for 30 minutes more, stirring occasionally, until tender and nicely glazed. Serve hot. Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
