You can always find my mum in the kitchen baking or cooking. Jams and chutneys are her favourites as she uses up all the fruits and vegetable that she grows in the garden. The good news is that I always have a steady supply!

This beetroot is so pretty I couldn’t resist sharing the recipe. If you love beetroot then you’re in for a real treat, just make sure you wear gloves and protest your clothing as beetroot will stain quite badly.


Ingredients

1kg raw beetroot peeled and diced (this is where you’ll need gloves)

2 onions, chopped

Juice and zest of 3 oranges

3 apples, peeled and grated

2 tbsp mustard seeds

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp ground cloves

500ml white wine vinegar

500g caster sugar


Method

  • In a large saucepan bring to simmer and gently cook for 1 hour until the chutney is thick and the beetroot if nice and tender

  • Place into sterilised jars and keep for up to 6 months in a dark and cool place.

  • If you can wait a few weeks before eating the flavours will have really intensified and it will taste even better.

  • Once opened store in the fridge and eat within a couple of months.


If you do make this then I hope you love it
