Beet Relish

 

Beet Relish:

-16 cups shredded Beets*(bake and peel prior to shredding)

-2 cups Vinegar 

-1 cup Water

-1 tbsp Pickling Salt 

-2 1/2 cups Sugar

-1/2 cup Flour 

- 1 tbsp dry Mustard 

- 1 cup Water

Put your baked and shredded beets into a large pot along with the vinegar, 1 cup of water and pickling salt. Bring to a boil on medium heat. 

In the meantime, combine the sugar, flour and dry mustard in a small mixing bowl. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of water. Once the mixture is smooth you can slowly add it to your beets, stirring it as you do so. Continue to stir and simmer until your beets relish has thickened. Remove from heat. Ladel into sterilised jars and process in a hot water bath for about 15 minutes. Remove from canner and allow your jars to cool on your countertop. A popping sound will indicate a proper seal.

 

This can be used as a condiment on your Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Sandwiches, in wraps or as a side dish alongside your Thanksgiving or other holiday meals!

*I used about 7 lbs of beets to get my 16 cups shredded beets.
