Lj's Homemade Pickled Gold Beetroot

I found this gorgeous looking Gold Beetroot at my local fruit shop yesterday morning. I've never seen one and picked it up with a new recipe in mind.

Ingredients:

1 Large Gold Beetroot

1 Birds eye Chilli

1 Clove of fresh Garlic sliced

1 1/2 Cups of Apple Cider Vinegar

1 Cup of filtered water

1 Tablespoon of Brown Sugar

1/2 Teaspoon of Yellow Mustard Seeds

1/2 Teaspoon of Ground Cinnamon

(I would usually use some Cinnamon Stick but ran out)

1/2 Teaspoon of Pink Peppercorns

1/2 Teaspoon of Black Peppercorns

What to do:

Generally when pickling Beetroot I cook them whole in water, let them cook and then cut them up. Today I decided to peel and dice and do it a little bit differently.

 Add all of the ingredients to a Saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for approx half an hour or until the beetroot is tender. Add to a sterilised glass jar and seal. You can store in a dry cool place but I'd prefer to just rip into it :-)
