Beetroot and Turnips

    Pickled beets

    Managed to grow lots of beetroot this year, the stripy one which needs less strong pickling. I roasted the beets in olive oil and salt for about an hour, then let them cool so I could peel them. I then put them in jars with a sprig of rosemary, some peppercorns and few sprigs of thyme, before pouring over the hot pickling liquor. The pickling liquor is simple to make, just heat all the ingredients in a pan or the microwave until just bubbling.
    460ml red wine vinegar
    230ml red wine - I used shiraz
    115ml water
    75ml runny honey, I used eucalyptus honey
    1 tablespoon sea salt
    50g soft brown sugar
