Jellied beetroot

[osprey]

This cropped up recently in a conversation I overheard on a bus and am wondering if anyone hear has tried it, how it's made and what it's best eaten with.

Mmm! Haven't had it for years, but I remember it as a delicious addition to a salad, or as a sort of sweet chutney. I think it's just chopped cooked beetroot in a fruit jelly.

Sounds like it would be fab served with granary bread and white crumbly cheese.

My Mum used to make it ...don't know exact quantities but it was something like a square of blackcurrant jelly made up to about a pint or half a pint with vinegar depending on how much beetroot I suppose.. Chop the cooked beetroot into it and let it set. We used to have it with cold meat and stuff way back in the dark ages ! It is quite vile actually !

I tried it recently for the 1st time, it was foul, sweet and sickly.
