Marinated Beetroot
INGREDIENTS:
- 5 beetroot around the same size
- 1/2 cup brown vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2tsp whole cloves
- pinch sea salt
METHOD:
- Place beetroot in a saucepan and top with water. Allow to boil until you are able to place a skewer easily through the center of the beetroot.
- Cool the beetroot in cold water until warm & able to handles. Remove the skin off the beetroots with your hands. It should just come away. (gloves may be worn as it can stain your hands)
- Slice beetroot and place in a tub. (I use the Tupperware beetroot keeper)
- In a saucepan, add the brown vinegar, water, sugar, salt & cloves. Allow this to boil while stirring. Once it has boiled, pour the juice over the beets while it is still hot. Make sure it covers all the beetroot. (Depending on how big your beetroot is, you may need to double the juice recipe.)
- Allow to cool on the bench with the lid off before putting it in the fridge.
