Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams grated beetroot
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple or orange juice
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1-2 tsp dried chili optional
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Instructions
 

  • Combine grated beetroot, brown sugar, pineapple or orange juice, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, turmeric, dried chili (if using), and grated ginger in a saucepan.
  • Stir the mixture thoroughly over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the relish thickens, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow the relish to cool before transferring it to sterilized jars.
  • Store in the refrigerator. It can be served immediately but tastes better when left to mature for a week.

Notes

Adjust sweetness, spiciness, or tartness by varying the amount of sugar, chili, or vinegar.
Experiment with the spices to suit your taste preferences.
This versatile relish elevates sandwiches, pairs excellently with meats, and adds a tangy punch to a variety of dishes. Enjoy exploring its many uses!
