"My wonderful Mother gave me some cookbooks at Christmas many, many years ago. At the time, I was not really interested, but a few years later, this recipe was in one of those Christmas cookbooks that I would never separate with. Who was it that said "Mother knows best"... I quite often think she knew me better than myself. This is a recipe from one of those wonderful books that our family enjoy over winter... I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Note~ It will depend on the sweetness of the swede as to how much of the sugar and nutmeg you use. The secret is to taste as you go."

Season to taste with salt, pepper, nutmeg and sugar.
