Rinse turnips in cold water, and scrub well to remove excess dirt. Trim the tops of the turnips, leaving an inch or less of the stem attached to the bulb. Pack turnips into a quart jar.

Combine hot water with sugar in a medium mixing bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves entirely. Add vinegar and salt and combine. Pour brine over turnips, cover jar, and refrigerate. Add optional mix-ins for additional flavor.The turnips will be at their best in about a week, and will last for months!
