I've made this recipe for years - I think it came from my Nana's kitchen (and from the kitchens of women of that generation) before it reached the Chelsea Recipe Site. It is seriously delicious - and the jars of beetroot relish never last long!

Method

Place beetroot, onion and garlic in a large heavy-based pot. Stir in Chelsea White Sugar, salt and allspice. Add just enough vinegar to cover the mixture.

Bring to a gentle boil and continue boiling for 30 minutes.

Add cornflour mixture and boil for a further 5 minutes, until thickened slightly.

Ladle into warm sterilised jars and seal with a lid. Set aside to cool, then label, date and store in a cool dark place. Refrigerate after opening.

Makes approximately 3 x 500ml jars.
