Ingredients
15 small white turnips
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon butter

Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat 5 minutes. Trim turnips, and cut in half lengthwise. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in skillet. Place turnips, cut side down, in a single layer in skillet. Cook, without turning, 4 minutes or until golden brown. Pour vinegar over turnips; add water to depth of 1/4 inch. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Increase heat to medium-high; uncover and return to a boil. Boil 4 minutes or until liquid is almost evaporated. Cook, turning occasionally, 8 more minutes or until liquid has evaporated. Stir in honey and 1 Tbsp. butter.
