Ingredients
- 1 kilogram peeled and grated beetroot
- 3 granny smith apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar, tightly packed
- 2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 1/4杯白葡萄酒醋
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
Method
-
1Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour until the mixture is thick and the beetroot is tender.
-
2Cool a little, then fill sterilised jars and cover them with lids. When cool enough to handle, screw the lids on tightly and wipe the jars clean.
-
3Serve with roast pork or cold meats – it's also lovely with crackers and cheese.
Notes
For years, I would stir my jams, chutneys and sauces to avoid them catching on the base of the pot (mostly to no avail!), then I discovered that greasing the bottom of the saucepan with butter or oil prevents most of the problem! Don't worry about staining your hands with beetroot juice. Wash your hands in cold water, not hot, and rinse. Using hot water opens the pores, allowing the colour to penetrate.
