Beetroot Relish

What you will need

• 1kg of beetroots, cooked, peeled and coarsely chopped
• 800g onion, finely chopped
• 225g caster sugar
• One tablespoon of rock salt
• One teaspoon of ground allspice
• 500ml Malt vinegar

The beetroot I used for this recipe was from my back garden that I grew myself, but you can purchase beetroot from farmer's markets, supermarkets ect.

I started off by washing and scrubbing them in cold water, Cleaned the tips by only slightly and neatly cutting them. Before cooking

 

Mix the chopped beetroot and onion together , add the sugar, salt and allspice and 375ml of the vinegar and put into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.

Mix together a tablespoon of flour with the remaining vinegar , whisk together well, to ensure no lumps. Add to the beetroot mixture, Stir until it is all well blended and thickened. Place into sterilized jars.
