This recipe is courtesy of my Scottish roots. Kohl Cannon can be made in various ways, depending on whether you are Irish, German, or Scottish. No matter how it is made, the eating of Kohl Cannon was a common custom on Halloween. In it would be buried, well wrapped in waxed paper or foil for today's world, 4 favors. A penny (for wealth), a button (for poverty), a ring (for marriage, and a matchstick (for spinsterhood). Much excitement was aroused, especially among the young lassies who were hopeful that the Kohl Cannon would foretell their future happiness! This recipe is the Scot's Way!

This was delicious! I loved the flavor of the turnips and carrots along with the other "winter" vegs. Very easy to make. It reminded me of the New England boiled dinner (without the meat) that my grandmother made me when I was a kid. I served this with a sauteed pork tenderloin with rosemary and BF loved it. Great for a cold winter day.
