I’ve recently harvested the beetroot. This is the first video of the beetroot preserving that I’ve done and I’m hoping to share another one at least. This recipe is in The Book and so I thought, rather than sharing a recipe in writing, I would show you how to do it. I really am struggling with the whole video thing, but hopefully it comes across okay. I worked out by the end how to add words, so next one, I might do some written instructions rather than you having to have the sound on. Although I do share other information, so please do have a listen.

It does take a lot longer to do IRL than it does on the video, but it’s not too onerous. This is a tasty ferment - I ate it on the side with a meal we had yesterday, which was all left overs (osso bucco, pumpkin and lentil soup and a veggie bake). Add it to a salad or crackers with cheese, on a sandwich…..you get the picture.
