Ingredients

1 kg beetroot
700g onions finely chopped (can be done in food processor)

1 Tbsp salt
2 1/2 cups Chelsea White Sugar
approx 500ml malt vinegar
2 Tbsp cornflour

Method

Boil the unpeeled and scrubbed beetroot for 3/4 hour. Cool, then peel and chop finely (a food processor will make this easy). Place in a preserving pan with the onions, pepper, spice, salt and Chelsea sugar.
Cover with malt vinegar and boil gently for 1/2 an hour. Thicken with the cornflour mixed to a paste with a little malt vinegar.
Stir and simmer a further 10 minutes.

    I make this when ever I run out, it lasts a long time in the fridge (if it's not eaten), everyone that has tried it just loves it, and it's easy to make.

    I have made this before and love it. Sometimes prefer it to the normal preserved beetroot.
