This ketchup is full of flavour, and great for people who dislike tomatoes, have to avoid nightshades, and/or just love beets!

Equipment

  • Plastic Squeeze Bottles

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs Small Beets Scrubbed clean, ends trimmed
  • 1 Small Onion Peeled and Quartered
  • 4 Garlic cloves Peeled
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 ½ Cups Vinegar*
  • ½ Cup Water
  • ½ Cup Brown Sugar Packed
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Celery Seed
  • ¼ teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Mustard Powder
  • Pinch Allspice
  • Pinch Ground Cloves
  • Ground Pepper To Taste

Instructions

  • Place beets, onion, and garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle a little olive oil over everything, season with a little salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
  • Foil foil edges up to create a pouch around the beets.
  • Roast at 375 for about 1 hour, or until beets are quite tender.
  • Allow to cool slightly, then rub the skins off the beets with some paper towels (or your bare hands – expect some staining!).
  • In a food processor or blender, blitz roasted beets, onion, and garlic together with remaining ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a large pot.
  • Bring ketchup just to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes or so, until thickened to desired consistency.
  • Remove from heat, cool to room temperature before transferring to jars or bottles. Chill.

Notes

* I used red wine vinegar, but cider vinegar would also taste wonderful. In a pinch, use regular white vinegar
