RECIPE: Rutabaga - basics, preserving, and recipe ideas

There are GIANT rutabagas in the farm store this week!  I haven't prepared them yet, but here is some advice for those of you who are interested.

When you get your rutabaga home, cut any green tops down, wrap in an airtight bag and store in the coldest part of your refrigerator.

Rutabagas are called SWEDE in the UK, and you'll find more recipe ideas searching on "swede" than on "rutabaga".
