[Sca-cooks] freezing turnips?

[Susan Lin]

I blanched them (okay, maybe a little more than blanched but not fully
cooked) and froze them on cookie sheets and then transferred them to plastic
baggies.  It worked out just fine.  I froze them from the summer until
Mid-Winter (second weekend in December) -- no freezer burn.
