Recipe of the month (Dec) - Beetroot Relish

Receiving homemade gifts from garden produce is  so lovely.  Here is one of  of my favourites.

Beetroot relish. From the Australian Women's weekly.

Ingredients

5 beetroot (1kg), peeled, chopped coarsely

4 white onions (800g), chopped coarsely

1 cup (220g) caster sugar

1 tablespoon coarse cooking salt

1 teaspoon ground allspice

2 cup (500ml) malt vinegar

1 tablespoon plain flour

Method

Blend or process beetroot and onion, in batches, until chopped finely. Combine beetroot mixture, sugar, salt, allspice and 1 1/2 cups  (375ml) of the vinegar in large saucepan; bring to a boil.

Boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.

Stir in blended flour and remaining vinegar; stir over heat until mixture boils and thickens.

Spoon hot relish into hot sterilised jars; seal while hot.
