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

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…..

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

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.

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!
