I recently tasted beetroot and orange chutney.It was delicious.As we grow our own beets and oranges does anyone have a recipe they are willing to divulge?
Thank you in advance.
Val @ 7:52 pm
I'd have a go at adapting this recipe. You'll still need the onion and apple but could add two large oranges and, possibly, omit the ginger. Peel the oranges, removing the pith from the peel and flesh. Cut the peel into thin strips and chop the orange flesh, discarding any seeds. Place the orange rind and flesh into the pan with the other ingredients. I've not tried it out though!

My kitchen has a fabulous smell of home made chutney. Thanks for all your recipes. This Christmas the expanded family will all get samples thanks to your years of experience , both growing your own vegetables and developing the best recipes I've found. I'm having great fun chopping up a mountain of fresh vegetables . Now I'm searching for a recipe for Beetroot, Apple and maybe Oranges … That could be a challenge.
Louise Moss @ 7:51 pm
I made this chutney as we'd grown far too much beetroot. The only trouble is that we have now eaten the whole batch and I need to make more. This is a fool proof recipe that my 10 year old and I made. The whole family love the taste.
Annette @ 3:10 pm
I have made this recipe several times with fresh beetroot and also a load I got reduced at the local shop, this is a wow with friends and family especially as I followed the orange advise, all friends and family are returning their jars for a second helping this year.
Jules @ 3:04 pm
Can I just ask, whey you say 'vinegar' in the recipe what type did you use please? I have found other recipes on the internet using red wine vinegar….but your recipe sounds simpler!
Val @ 5:29 pm
It really is up to you. I tend to use distilled malt (white) vinegar.
Natalie @ 11:50 am
is the ginger ground, fresh or stem in syrup?
Many thanks
Natalie
Val @ 8:18 pm
Ground ginger.
cindy stone @ 9:41 pm
this beetroot chutney recipe is fab . what is the ideal time to leave it before eating though?
Val @ 10:28 pm
I'd give it at least 8 weeks.
Natalie @ 12:19 pm
I'm saving some of mine but I couldn't wait to try so opened one jar straight away and ate the chutney (with the orange) with cheese and fresh bread and butter..delicious!!
ellen @ 7:51 pm
Don't waste the beetroot tops – they are lovely steamed – similar to spinnach.
babs @ 1:41 pm
I make beetroot chutney using red onion in place of cooking onion, the juice and zest of one orange instead of ginger and red wine vinegar

I love the beetroot chutney recipe. Very good, keep up the good work.
Leanne :) @ 3:25 pm
How many jars will this recipe make?
Julie @ 5:57 pm
Thanks for the info, have just made a batch of beetroot and orange chutney and was wondering if I should hide it away to mature! What a useful website!
ann johnson @ 11:27 am
The recipe was very helpful and tastes delicious. It was for a friend and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you
IAN BLYTHMAN @ 1:03 pm
Just made a batch following this recipe , all I can say is WOW. So easy, and the taste is great.
Maz Thomas @ 12:20 pm
this sounds a good recipe, just cooking beetroot, need to go and get a few ingredients and then l will be making this. Will comment on the result
Sheila Robinson @ 12:12 pm
I am looking at making Chutney with beetroot as have an abundance of it, never made it before. Reading up on it , it say's not to use metal lids…
I saved loads of Jars with metal lids, can I use them?
Val @ 1:30 pm
I wouldn't – vinegar corrodes metal. Check the lids, you may find that they have a plastic preserving skin on the inside (if you look at a commercial jar of pickle, like Branston, you'll see the type of lid I mean). This type is fine to use.

I made some beetroot relish today. Use 3 huge ones, adding a medium sized pawpaw. Cooked the beetroot first, then peeled & chopped it finely. Into a big pot I added 3 onions & the pawpaw both chopped as finely as I could. About a litre of malt vinegar (enough to cover the veges) & a couple of cups of raw sugar & some salt & pepper. Simmered it all for abnout 35 minutes, until I could see the onion was cooked. Then thickened with 3 tablespoons of cornflour mixed with some vinegar, simmer on for about 10 minutes stirring often. Its delicious. The pawpaw replaced the apple for me, as I didnt have any, but pawpaws are abundant just now. I reckon you can mess with these recipes quite a lot if you understand where you're heading with the balance of vinegar /sugar & veges or fruit. I tend to use whatever I have in abundance & it alwasy seems to work! Good luck all you relish cooks. barbie

My little boy just loves beetroot and would like it in his school lunch sandwiches. Chutney seemed like a safer alternative, so I had a go with this simple recipe. I used brown sugar and spiced brown vinegar and it is so good that we are all eating lots of it! We can't wait 8 weeks for it to mature…..

How long does beetroot chutney usually keep as I'm thinking of making it for Christmas gifts?
