Recipe Name

Beetroot Chutney

Method

Carefully scrub the beetroot after trimming the tails. Boil them in a pan for 10 minutes. Leave them to cool.  Peel and chop them into whatever size you want (5mm cubes is a good size). Add the chopped beetroots to a large pan with the onions, garlic and apples chopped to a similar size. Add the other ingredients, stir well, bring to the boil and then simmer for about an hour and a half. Meanwhile pour a good size glass of red wine. Check and stir regularly so that the ingredients don’t stick to the bottom of the pan. At some point throw in half a glass of red wine. Put into clean & warmed Kilner or jam jars. Note: the wine is of course optional but a little extra vinegar may be needed is it’s not included.
