Ancient Romans enjoyed the leaves, but we now treasure the vibrant burgundy bulb of this veggie. With its natural sweetness, it's perfect for creating delicious preserves.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5kg beetroot bulbs, stems removed
  • 400ml apple cider vinegar
  • 400ml water
  • 240g (1 1/2 cups, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
  • 1 tsp whole cloves
  • 2.40 gm salt flakes
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Individually wrap each beetroot bulb in foil, then lay them on a baking tray. Roast for about 1 hour, or until the beetroot is easily pierced with a skewer. Allow the roasted beetroot to cool slightly before using.
  • Protect your hands by wearing disposable gloves. Peel and discard the skin from the beetroot. Cut the beetroot into wedges and neatly pack them into dry, sterilized jars.
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, peppercorns, cloves, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and let cool.
  • Pour the flavorful vinegar mixture over the beetroot and tightly seal it in.
