Method

1.Peel the beetroots and grate in your food processor. Don’t worry if your hands get stained, it washes off pretty quickly.
2.Put the beetroot in a pot with the orange zest, brown sugar and vinegar. Bring to the boil and then simmer with the lid on for 10 minutes.
3.After 10 minutes, have a look. If there is a lot of liquid, take the lid off for the final 10 minutes of cooking to allow it to thicken up.
4.Spoon into hot, sterilised jars and seal.
