  • Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
* Parsnips, 1 parsnip (9" long) * Carrots, raw, 3 carrot (7-1/2") * Rutabagas, 1 medium * Turnips, 1 medium * Apple juice, unsweetened, .25 cup * Water, tap, .25 cup (8 fl oz) * balsamic vinegar, 3 tablespoon * Olive Oil, 2 tbsp * Salt, 1 tsp * Pepper, black, .5 tsp
Directions
Chop all of the veggies into 1-inch or smaller cubes. Toss together in a crock pot. Mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the veggies. Add more or less water depending on how long you plan to cook it - if it's 8 hours, you don't have to add any water, if it might be longer, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup to make sure it doesn't burn.

Turn the crockpot on low for about 8 to 10 hours.

    Great recipe. I used yams instead of rutabagas, and apple cider. Doubled it. I like the veggies more al dente, and they were ready in about five hours - on low. - 11/24/12

    Loved it! I doubled the recipe and used a big slow cooker. I also used sweet potatoes and a little bit of white potato instead of the turnip and rutabagas (not my favourites). I also put some onions and garlic cloves in there. The apple juice and balsamic went great together. Yum yum yum! - 3/16/10
