Sylvia shows of two of her prizes
Earlier this week, Sylvia harvested some of the parsnips she had planted in the spring. They were the largest we have ever grown. I was concerned that they might be “woody.” That was not the case at all.
After parboiling the sliced up parsnips, Sylvia fried them in butter. Oh my goodness! There were heavenly. The best I’ve ever eaten–ever!
In the past we have harvested in late summer. This year we followed expert advice and waited until after the first killing frost. It makes a huge difference.
Other parsnips from this year’s harvest
We now have parsnips in the refrigerator and even more in the freezer. Lots of goodness to see us through this winter.
Wow- My dad left them in all winter too. Good parsnips are a treat. Store ones are … meh
I don’t think I have ever eaten parsnips. But, be that as it may, those are impressive.
My dad would leave them in the ground over winter in Cadillac MI. They even tasted better in the early spring.
Sylvia has HUGE parsnips! (That sounds wrong, doesn’t it?)
Never ate a parsnip. What do they taste like?
Those are humungous! ! Very nice. :dance:
Those are beautiful! It has been ages since I have had parsnips, and JoAnn says she has never eaten such. She’s missing so much.
