How to Make: Rutabagas

[@johndifrancisco3642]

I LOVE Rutabagas! I was never sure which was which with Turnips. What I do before I peel them is run them under VERY hot water to take the wax off. When most of it is off I will add some cold water, but as hot as I can take it and scrub them with a scrubby sponge and soap. That will make them a LOT easier to peel. Wash your sink and sponge out too as soon as you are done. I usually just boil it, add lots of butter, salt, and pepper and mash it all up. I can't wait to try this recipe. I've never seen it made like that. Thanks Miss. Chris!

[@cherylanderson3340]

I just slice off the thick top area & then with a large peeler for heavier peels, peel them horizontally from top to bottom & then cut them up. I think melting the wax first just spreads the wax around, making more work. It sure wouldn't be good to get that wax in your drains!

[@demetrastanton5777]

I add the crackling to my greens as well!!! DEVINE!!!!

Wow, this took me back to my childhood when my mom fixed this. She would cook her’s with ham hocks and a pan of cornbread. Thanks for sharing!!!

Hello, Mrs. Chris every time I watch one of your videos it brings me back to memories of my mom. She was a southern cook true to the end and whenever I have family get togethers I'm always doing the cooking from homemade dressing to sweet potato pies. I have mastered your yeast rolls. I send you a picture a while back of me making my yeast rolls and you thought they were your picture. of My mother could make yeast rolls but I never did pay attention. I learned and followed your recipe and that is the one I go to every time I make yeast rolls. I truly enjoy watching you.. you remind me of my mom she was about your size and I'm about your size and every time I watch your video it just warms my heart to see you as I write this letter I am crying thinking about my mom keep cooking and keep sharing and I love you.

[@chriscook4u2]

Awww, this was so sweet. I am so happy I could help to bring back a memory that is so near and dear to your heart. It makes me happy to be a part of that. I am so glad you are able to enjoy the recipes and are able to create memories of your own. It’s thoughtful words like yours that motivate me to continue posting. Thank you for encouraging me. God Bless you and stay safe.

[@bigeman25]

One of my vegetable favorites. Back in the day in my home, we called them yellow turnips.

[@kellisteele4512]

The way my mother and my grandmother used to cook rutabagas including my godmother this is the best way to eat rutabagas, i’m going to have to cook this this week Yum

[@frontstreeteats1043]

[@3366forlife]

Will definitely try that dish it looks good

[@nancylaveniagreer7]

I love Rutabagas, like you say it’s very hard for me to peel. But I’m gonna try this way. I usually use smoke pigtails or fresh depending on what time I want to eat them. But I love this I’m gonna go today that’s my meal for tomorrow. No extra meat is required like chicken or pork chops. Thank you for sharing

[@myhearts419]

Yes! Smoke pigtails are the best seasoning with pigtails. We also add a little sugar to balance the bitterness of the rutabaga.

[@cherylanderson3340]

I really enjoyed your explaining while cooking. I've never tried Cracklins but love bacon, so think I'll try some. I'm up in Massachusetts so might have to buy them online. I've subscribed & look forward to checking out your other vids.

Yummy bring back memories. I LOVE them but never tried cooking because they're so hard to peel. A cousin of mines said to place them microwave for a few minutes to soften the peel. I think I try this this Sunday.

Hi! I am new to your channel. I cannot eat potatoes, so Rutabagas are what I eat instead. This sounds like an excellent way to prepare them. I appreciate your thoughtful instructions, and thoroughness.

[@chriscook4u2]

I love rutabagas and I eat them like this all the time. They are great as a soup base to. I hope you try this you will not be disappointed.

We call these swede hear in UK I love them mashed with butter,salt and black pepper,we also put chunks in stews and at times mash them with carrots or potatoes mmm yum

[@chriscook4u2]

That really sounds good. I use them in stews and soups and they are delicious as a base in it. You are so correct.

Yes I did state at the Q&A, we have to remove video’s 3 years or older or they will take them down. So I don’t want recipes like this to fade in the Sunset so you will see me repost what I can when I can. That’s why you will see some repeated before they disappear.
