Rutabagas are a wonderful winter treat from the garden.

This one that I pulled today from my garden weighs 4 1/2 pounds! This is an open pollinated variety "Marian" that was planted from seed on July 20, 2012. This is about twice the amount I need to make Rutabagas Au Gratin for dinner so I froze the remained for use later.

Rutabagas Au Gratin ready to serve!
