    Nat I have thought the same. I wasn't sure if you need to cook the beetroot first. I tried onions last year but didn't do anything with them apart from putting them in the jar and leaving.

    As for the gherkins, I went to shop yesterday and had a look for you. It looks like they have a few chilli flakes, and coriander seeds (I didn't have time to look at the back because my weight watchers leader came behind me and told me they were point free anyway!!!!!)

            I use an adapted Delia method. I bake them first in foil till soft. Then boil red wine vinegar with peppercorns, about 200ml with 1 tsp and add about 2 tablespoons of sugar. I slice the beetroot and place in jars with a little sliced shallot and pour the hot vinegar over. This does about three jars with about a pound of beetroot.
