Submitted by Tisme

"This is just the thing to make an ordinary everyday sandwich or wrap into a gourmet lunch! It is so nice served with a fresh crusty bread and cheese. Wear gloves and protect benches when grating the beetroot as cut beetroot stains everything!"

I have used this recipe for years. It has wonderful flavour and crunch that has lasted for at least two years in the jars. A great keeping relish. Sometimes I it doesn't really go syrupy but it keeps much the same. Sometimes I add water because it goes a bit dry rather than syrupy and is still ok! I have used quite large overgrown beetroot.
