- Place all ingredients into a large, preserving saucepan.
- Mix all the ingredients: bring to a gentle simmer, then cook for 1 hr while stirring occasionally.
- The chutney will be ready once the beetroot is tender, and the chutney has a thick consistency.

- Store for up to 6 months in a cool dark place.
