Try jam first - then if you don't like it, add some cooked veg chunks and vinegar, and rebrand it as chutney = twice the chance of success :-)

OH pickles our beetroot, but the ones still in the ground he might roast or possibly freeze.

just wondering what it'll be like with eating apples, maybe if I use the smaller ones that are a bit on. the sour side.

I've got red wine vinegar, Apple cider vinegar, malt and balsamic .... hmmmm decisions decisions.

glad I picked up a load of squeezy sachets of lazy ginger for 10p from b&m too

definitely think it's gonna be chutney then

having a lottie bonfire and BBQ so think I'll try out a jar of the different chutneys.... make sure the others all match up to this prize winner then �� x

yeah would be the sort of thing is normally do, but I think it would be hard to turn one into the other, jam even my low sugar ones would have much too much sugar in I think, like your thinking though ��

I love pickled beetroot, but have enough pickled I think, but the next lot I harvest will mostly be roasted or put in stews or just eaten on a butty

Here's something like it, the vinegar and lemon juice go into the jelly.

Doesn't last long - as soon as the jar was open it was half full. Goes well with a mature cheddar.

Lynda I've got a couple of Worcester perman trees I use them for eating, cooking, juicing, chutneys and they've been fine.

My late mother from Kishinev used to do a mean borscht. Unfortunately never got recipe but there are loads on web. Bought some canned Polish from Lidl while back. It was awful!

**Jay-ell** · 02-10-2018, 05:10 PM

Ah Borscht - Lovely. I once went over to Krakow for a weekend just to have borscht, cholent and pashka.
