Spicy Beetroot Relish

Submitted by Tisme

"Served cold with your favourite burgers, sausages or lamb. Yield depends on the size of jars you may use. You can grate the beetroot in a food processor. I suggest that you wear disposable gloves whilst dealing with the beetroot to avoid staining your hands. You can make this relish in advance and keep it in a sterilised sealed jar in the refrigerator"

This relish is so very simple to make and really really yummy. Great way to use beetroot without having to cook it first. This will definitely be made over and over again. <br/><br/>I didn't have all-spice so I just added a few cloves, a sprinkle of nutmeg and a touch more cinnamon.

Great recipe- super tasty relish that we served with chicken burgers and a salad on the side. I've only ever tried purchased beetroot relish before and this was so, so much better- thick and great flavour- not overly spicey- just right. Seemed like a long cooking time- but you dont have to watch it constantly. Simmered for about 15 minutes less than the stated time. I used two tightly packed cups of beetroot that was two large beetroot grated. Yied was just short of one cup when fully cooked. Definitely a make again recipe for us. Photo also to be posted

Absolutely fantastic, a few tweaks. Used finely ground pickling spice, finished with vegetable gelatine. Also made a portion with sour cream, delicious, thank you

Very Yummy but I would double the recipe if you want to make more than one jar.
