How to Make Spicy Beetroot Relish

  1. Wash and peel 1kg of beetroot. Grate the beetroot using a food processor (or a box grater – wear disposable gloves to avoid staining your hands!).
  2. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the grated beetroot, 200ml apple cider vinegar, 100g honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, ½ tsp cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and a pinch of salt.
  3. Over medium-high heat, stir the mixture until the honey dissolves completely.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the beetroot is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or cayenne for extra spice.
  6. Once cooled completely, transfer the relish to a sterilized jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Enjoy!
