Making chutneys and relishes is not something I’ve done a whole lot of, so I was quite excited when I made beetroot relish! This is the second batch and I’m happy to report that both have been a success. To cut out refined sugar I have replaced sugar with xylitol and a little maple syrup. I think you could easily reduce the quantities of each of these by up to a half if you’re after a less sweet relish.
Beetroot relish is perfect on a hamburger, condiment to a perfectly cooked steak, chicken or even a little tossed in a salad.
