Torshi Lift

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
A delight to serve with grilled and roasted meats. Be patient and resist the temptation to open the jar before they are ready! Once opened they will keep for 4 – 6 weeks in a cool place, if they last that long!
== Ingredients ==
* 1¼ lbs small turnips
* 9 ounces raw beetroots, preferably not much larger than the turnips
* 4 ounces fresh dates, stoned and halved (optional)
* 4 cloves garlic, cloves skinned and very finely chopped
* 4½ tablespoons salt
* 3¾ cups water
* 1½ cups white vinegar
== Directions ==
# Peel the turnips and cut in half. 
# Peel the beetroot and slice thinly. 
# Pack the turnips into sterilised jars alternating with layers of the beetroot, garlic and dates. 
# Bring the water and the salt to boil and then add the vinegar. 
# Pour over the vegetables making sure they are completely covered by the liquid. If there is not quite enough liquid add a little more vinegar and brine. 
# Seal the jars and leave in the kitchen. 
# Ready to eat in 10 – 12 days.
