Beet And Apple Relish Recipes

BEET-AND-APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a sheet of parchment-lined foil; drizzle with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Fold edges to form a packet. Place on a baking sheet, and roast beets until tender, about 1 hour. Unwrap; let cool slightly, then peel. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Bring onion, vinegar, water, and sugar to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in beets, apples, and mustard.
• Divide among 3 pint-size sterilized glass jars using a slotted spoon, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at tops. Wipe rims and then close with screw bands and lids.
• Submerge jars, covering with water by 2 inches, upright on a wire rack in a large pot of hot water; bring to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes (or longer, depending on altitude). Remove jars from pot using tongs, and transfer to a layer of clean towels to cool. Once cool, check for a slight indentation in lids, which indicates a vacuum seal. Refrigerate all canned products after opening.

ROASTED-BEET AND APPLE RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Tightly wrap beets in a double layer of foil and roast on a baking sheet in middle of oven until very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool in foil package until warm (the steam makes beets easier to peel), about 20 minutes.
• While beets are roasting, stir together vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until sugar and salt are dissolved. Cut apples into 1/4-inch dice and add to dressing along with horseradish. Toss well.
• When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off skins and remove stems. Cut beets into 1/4-inch dice and stir into apple mixture.
• Chill relish, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 2 hours (to allow flavors to develop) and up to 3 days.

APPLE & SWEET PEPPER RELISH

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Bring beet and enough water to cover beet to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes (I boiled mine for closer to 30 minutes). Drain and let cool and then slip skins off of beets and chop in big pieces -- remember to let the food processor do the work!
• Put beets with the remainder of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
• Cover and refrigerate for up to one week.

BEET RELISH

Steps:

• Inspect 4 pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until relish is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Combine beets, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt in a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Stir water and gelatin together in a cup and add to the beets. Boil for 7 more minutes.
• Pack relish into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly. Store in a cool place.
