My Grandmother and my Mother made these for special occasions. They are really just Candied Yams, using Parsnips instead. Of course the Parsnips have a much nuttier and spice flavor than Yams.

1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup butter

2. Bring water to boil, add salt and parsnips.
3. Boil aproximately 20 minutes, until crisp tender.
4. Drain parsnips, and place in shallow 2 Qt baking dish.
5. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over top.
6. Cut butter into 1 T. pats, place evenly over top of dish.
