Beetroot Relish

I decided to pull up our (very small) beetroot crop yesterday. Some were quite a decent size, some pretty small, but all bigger than the beetroot DH grew last year- he's too impatient to be a gardener and pulls everything out too early!


The whole lot were made into beetroot relish this morning. Here is the basic recipe (I ended up with six cups of grated beetroot):


Beetroot Relish

2 cups grated beetroot
1 Tbs honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cumin
3/4 cup water
1 tsp salt


Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Stir over high heat until honey dissolves.


Bring to the boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until most of the liquid is gone.

Easy! And yum :)
