Ingredients

2 tart apples

1 turnip

Peel and core apples, and peel the turnip, and finely grate or grind them both. Grind parsley and add to mixture. Place in a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until turnips are very soft - about 15 minutes. Strain out juice, discarding solids.
