Turnips. Peel the turnips thickly, just as far as the inner rim, and keep in cold water or they will turn black. Then boil the same way as carrots, but they will take rather less time. Drain them in a colander and pass them through a wire sieve. Put 2 oz. of butter into a stew- pan, i tablespoonful of milk, a little salt and white pepper
