How We Make Glazed Rutabagas - Best Way to Make Rutabagas

[@SherwoodAnderson]

Thank you for this! My great-grandma made rutabaga with pan-fried cornbread all the time. I miss her and her cooking. This reminds me of how she cooked it.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

You are so welcome. I hope you like it when you make it :)

[@imacatnotadog7371]

SherwoodAnderson this is great you deserve more credit I Love it

[@williamlewis4390]

If you will peel your Rutabegorz with a potato peeling knife a large rutabaga it will cost you about less than 2 minutes I also have the recipe that goes with the rest of it Edwards Lewis and myself William Lewis owns an inn in Fieldale Virginia

[@brendam.6897]

I’m always bragging about you and your wonderful recipes! You never fail to bring the love! God bless you!

[@jernij1407]

Thank you. I am a 13 year old boy who has a passion for rootabaga. Thank you so much for teaching me how to cook it.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Your'e welcome!

[@xoSimplyLexx]

I was scared I didn’t make it right but they came out great!! Reminds me of supper at my grandmas house. Thank you so much ☺️

[@lisaanderson5977]

Love rutabagas! They are good and sweet and my husband had never eaten them! Sautéed with turnips and greens! Awesome

[@MorrisonScotch]

Used to have rutabagas every week. I remember my grandma cooking them in a pressure cooker though if I'm not mistaken. Can't remember. All my Grannies would run me out of the kitchen when they cooked so there would be something left over for super and dinner

[@startrongalaxy2030]

You have the sweetest southern accent!

[@bethanyfields4706]

I'm 47, and I've never had them. Now, I wanna try them and GROW some!♥️

[@debbiedeal5937]

I can't believe I've never had a taste of rutabagas in my life! I love veggies, so I'd be happy to try them ;)

[@thecramptons]

Definitely a Deep South thing…black or white.. doesn’t matter

[@margaretmack372]

LOOKS DELICIOUS THX FOR SHARING

[@Hortonscakes]

My Grandma used to make this for me in NJ every Thanksgiving! 💜💜💜

[@cathyburns750]

Rutabaga is my favorite veggie. I just boil them til soft add butter, salt and pepper and mash them like taters. They go great with Thanksgiving turkey, stuffing and the rest of the fixings!! I'm going to try your recipe. Looks great!!

[@lindawillis8481]

I eat and cook rutabaga's but have never done them this way. I'll be sure to try it.

[@georgiapeach608]

I love Rutabagas and will have to try your recipe! An easy way to peel Rutabagas is to Microwave them for about 5 to 8 minutes depending on their size. Be sure to cut one of the ends so it can vent a little. This make the job so easy.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thanks I'll try that!

[@ellacarson2048]

Thanks! I was looking for an easy way...

[@Gail1251]

Great idea. cutting a rutabaga is the biggest trouble.

[@shawte78]

Yes. I wrap mine in wet paper towels and microwave for 3-5 minutes. That softens them and easier to cut and cook

[@swpowell1226]

I've never had a rutabaga in my life, can't wait to try this.

[@jstbarnett]

I bought a rutabaga yesterday! Never had one before but can’t wait to cook it.

[@lademoiselleketoret6958]

Oh wow…. Never thought to do Rutabaga like this… 😳 will try it!thanks! 😍

[@peggypeggy4137]

I am trying your recipe as I am writing this, as it looked like the best one that I could find. Have you ever tried the method of putting in microwave to make for easier peeling? I saw that too on the internet. Cut off base for venting. poke a few holes, 5 minutes. let cool.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I have not but I will next time!

[@oskeekno]

Love rutabagas and those look delic. I there are probably more on here but this is my 1st time seeing a video on here cooking rutabagas, Thank U!!!

[@peggylittledragon7734]

Love rutabaga with potatoes, fry them up in a pan! Yummy!

[@lucypearlmorgan3115]

Came across your video when searching for recipes for the green parts of the rutabaga. Glad I did! Just followed your recipe and it was delicious. I had it with a broccoli side and a piece of fried chicken. Yummy!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Wonderful!

[@louiseharrison3640]

Need some smoke meat cook them with smoke meat then season salt, pepper and little dash of sugar l😋😋🍷🌹

[@anthonywestjr1063]

I use smoked neckbones to flavor mine like my grandmother used to. I also use a few turnip roots mixed in...mmm-mmm!

[@lewisrich3515]

Not if you're a vegetarian😜😜

[@tamekawilliams803]

You better say that!

[@BeccaMariee15]

You don’t need meat you can just boil them in chicken stock instead of water!

[@marblessed9597]

@@BeccaMariee15 U don't need stock or meat; just season them well with lots of onions & spices!

[@barbaraadams9499]

Looks good! I think I’ll try making them!!!! 👍🏼🤗🙏🏼😊😎

The rutabaga is the Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson of vegetables. 👍😀🎋

[@reneedupree7648]

Tammy, I love rutabagas mashed, roasted, they are delicious 🤤😋😍❤️🙏🏻😇✝️

[@sarahvaughn1623]

I've never cooked them like this but they look really good. I always put fresh pork or smoked bacon in mine and I add sugar as well, I guess you can cook them anyway you want and they are always good.

[@watthaile2053]

This way is good. I also mix them half and half with mashed potatoes. Also add them to a roast with potatoes carrots and onions. Rutabagas are just a great vegetable in lots of ways.

[@longshot5738]

I just made this dish and it turned out pretty good! I used Stevia Pure Via as a sugar substitute though. Next time I’ll probably put a little more of the substitute to make it a little sweeter, but it is a very good recipe! Thanks for the video.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thanks for letting me know how it turned out!

[@baptistefoulquier1237]

very interesting recipe, here in Brittany , France we have a lot of rutabagas we usually steam cooked or pan them , but that looks delicious, thanks.

[@williamlewis4390]

My name is William Lewis Edward Lewis and myself owned an inn in Fieldale Virginia two things were asked for often we served about 40 people at one time rutabaga add cream of potato soup easiest way to peel a rutabaga is a knife that you use to peel potatoes with he'll take every bit of 2 minutes to peel a large one prepare as usual for your cooking way we use salt water and sugar and cook them till they were almost tender and serve them that way people love them do you need to know more about cooking rutabaga just let me know thank you more importantly God bless you

We buy canned, cubed rutabaga as it makes it simpler! boiled then mashed.... adding butter and spices, baked like a squash!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I noticed when I did a google search on rutabaga many people cream them like potatoes and squash! Thanks for watching my channel and I hope you browse my other cooking videos!

[@lisaannkeith7399]

Thats how my Mom always did them, but I dont remember her putting anything other than butter, salt & pepper on it. So tasty. I loved the pungent flavor of rutabaga & turnips, too.

rutabaga came out great THANK YOU!!!!! my wife and i loved it totally.

Great news Laszlo! I will have to do some more videos with this veggie!

sometimes I find rutabagas already cut up in the store so I buy them! I love rutabagas!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Me too!

[@annette7984]

Delicious 😋!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Annette, these are so amazing! I wish I had some now. I wish they were easier to peel :)

[@andymontoya4406]

Really looks good! I am going to hunt for some today! For your green beans, I suggest trying this way once. I drain my green beans, add to pan with chopped bacon with half of drppings removed if necessary. Then simmer them with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and garlic powder. Equal parts on the sauces, sugar to taste. Essentially it is like the green bean bundles deconstructed. They are very good! I made yours the other night and enjoyed them as well!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Sounds good Andy, I will give it a try on a day I feel spunky! I do not normally mix bacon with anything but breakfast and baked beans :)

[@andymontoya4406]

Collard Valley Cooks I have done it without bacon and they are still yummy!

No sugar on rutabagas for me. I cut them up boil them than mash with a potato masher add salt, pepper and butter then eat. I love the taste of them. I also add them in soups and stews in place of potatoes. I'm diabetic so have to watch my sugar.

Makes sense!

Most interesting. I do love the swede, as the rutabaga is known in England. I must try this. I've never glazed them with sugar before. Thanks.

Macnutz, I hope you try this soon. They are delicious!

[@thecramptons]

What is the history of rutabaga? Bc i always thought it was a southern thing but lots of folks in comments talk about eating them up north. We probably cook ours different though with smoke meat 😊

Looks delicious

[@stickybudsgardens6942]

Thanks for the great preparation video! I was given rutabaga and turnip grown on a family farm and only knew how to eat them. Now I'll prepare em first. Thinking I'll use my special budder too!

You don't need sugar to makes Swede delicious. All you need to do is boil them until tender, mash them and mix in plenty of black pepper, pinch of salt and they are stunning.

[@felisablackmon8951]

❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love your recipe!! My momma add sugar too!!!

[@qqkk5581]

Substitute apple juice for the water and add a little Myer's dark rum with the sugar - and if you use the apple juice then you can omit or use less sugar.

[@babeena_gt_3645]

I don't add sugar because I can't medically but it tasted real good with out the sugar. Thanks this was my first time trying this.

Thanks ShadowDancer! I made some muffins without sugar this week, but they are muffins and have bananas, so not sure if you can make them? I will post them soon!

Thanks for sharing your recipe, it looks yummy. Do rutabagas oxidize when raw like white potatoes do?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

No Virginia, that's one good thing about rutabaga's, they do not oxidize.

[@veevee111]

Thanks for your response. I've been searching for them but haven't found them as yet. I hope when I find them I will pick good ones.

[@valleygirlgg]

I love these but stopped eating them because they are so hard to cut up..I discovered that you can peel them and drop them whole into boiling water and they cook just as if they were peeled. They taste better too. Not too sure why! It does take longer and what I do is when they get softer I cut them as they boil. Its much easier! Talk about a veggie that should come precut! lol. These are sooo good! My Mom was Swedish and fed them to me as a kid. Love them!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

They are a lot of trouble, but they are sooo good!

[@henriettewilke2448]

We ate those as well when I was in Germany. Now I found a little Mom & Pop restaurant close to my house that has them on the menu 3 to 4 times a week. So that`s where I go quite often. They are so good!

Now I have to figure out how to use them before they go bad. Supposedly there’s a reason that they’re waxed in the stores.
