[Sca-cooks] Help! Pickled Turnips

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

I bought a jar of Middle-Easter pickled turnips today.They're pickled 
with vinegar, salt, pepper, and some beetroot.  When I opened the jar, 
there was the "pop" of the seal breaking, then the liquid began to 
fizz.  There was no residue, no funny smell, just lots of little bubbles 
rising to the top, as if it were a glass of soda.  Is this normal?  Safe 
to consume?
