Roasted Winter Root Vegetables With Apple Cider - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 cups apple cider (or apple juice)
1 cup semisweet white wine (Riesling or Gewurztraminer)
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/4 lbs turnips
1 1/4 lbs parsnips
1 1/4 lbs carrots
1 1/4 lbs yams
1 1/4 lbs rutabagas (swede)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Combine the apple cider and wine in a heavy saucepan and reduce to 3/4 cup. This will take about 30 minutes.
Whisk in the butter until smooth.
Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F.
Peel all the vegetables and cut in to 1/2 inch pieces.
Use the largest roast pan you own (or use two roasting pans and divide the vegetables). Pour the prepared apple cider/wine mixture over the vegetables. Stir to coat.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast the vegetables until they are tender and golden, stirring occasionally and cook approximately 40 minutes.
