Ingredients

• 4 medium fresh beets
• 1 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon ground allspice (optional)
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the beets, then grate them using a box grater or food processor.

Step 2

Peel and finely dice the red onion.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the grated beets, diced red onion, apple cider vinegar, granulated sugar, salt, ground black pepper, ground allspice (if using), and water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook uncovered for 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. The relish should thicken slightly as the liquid reduces.

Step 6

Taste the relish and adjust the seasonings if needed.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the relish to cool to room temperature.

Step 8

Transfer the beet relish to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. For best results, let it sit overnight.

Step 9

Serve cold or at room temperature as a condiment or side dish with your favorite meals. Store the relish in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
