ROASTED BEET KETCHUP
3 lbs (1,360kg) small beets
1 small onion, peeled and quartered
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 1/2 cups vinegar*
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp each: mustard powder, celery seed, coriander
Pinch ground cloves
Pinch allspice
Black pepper, to taste
Place beets, onion, and garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, folding edges up to create a pouch around the beets.
Roast at 375°F/190°C ( 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, blitz roasted beets, onion, and garlic together 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.
I used red wine vinegar, but cider vinegar would also taste wonderful. In a pinch, use regular white vinegar
