This recipe uses the beetroots’s sweetness and earthy, rich flavour instead of tomatoes.
Ingredients
200ml (¾ cup)
500g (3 cups) cubbed, cooked red beetroot
120ml (½ cup) white wine vinegar
240ml (1 cup) water
5 tbsp organic unrefined caster (superfine) sugar
1 bay leaf
2 shallots, finely chopped
Pinch sea salt, and cracked black pepper
Method
- Heat all the ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and allow to simmer for around 10 minutes, or until the shallots are cooked and the liquid has slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before removing the bay leaf. Then tip into a blender and blend until super-smooth. It should be bright pink and have that glossy ketchup look.
- Carefully pour into sterilised jars or containers and pop them in the fridge to cool.
- Serve and use like ketchup for no longer than three weeks.
