Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh beets
- 1 medium red onion
- 120 milliliters apple cider vinegar
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 100 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash and peel the beets, then grate them using a box grater or food processor fitted with a grating blade.
Peel and finely chop the red onion.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Stir in the grated beets, apple cider vinegar, water, granulated sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and the relish has thickened.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add a touch more sugar or vinegar if you prefer it sweeter or tangier.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the relish cool to room temperature.
Transfer the beetroot relish into sterilized jars or an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a condiment with burgers, sandwiches, cheese platters, or roasted meats, or as a vibrant side dish.
