Salad Turnips with Balsamic Glaze

2-3 Tablespoons butter
1 bunch salad turnips, greens removed and saved for another use, roots trimmed and quartered or cut into bite sized chunks depending on size
2-3 Tablespoons water
2-3 Tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar or 2 teaspoons maple syrup
salt and pepper to taste
minced fresh herb like parsley, scallions, etc. (optional)

Melt butter in pan and add turnips to coat.  Add water and bring to simmer.  Reduce heat to maintain slow simmer, cover and cook until tender, about 7-10 minutes.  Uncover pan and add vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper.  Increase heat to medium-high while stirring frequently until sauce starts to form a glaze on the turnips.  Serves 2-4.
