You can grate the beetroot in a food processor. I would suggest that you wear disposable gloves whilst dealing with the beetroot. This mixture can be successfully doubled.
You can make this in advance and keep it in a sterilised sealed jar in the refrigerator.
Degree of difficulty: Low
You need:
2 cups grated peeled raw beetroot
1 tablespoon mildly flavoured honey
quarter cup red wine vinegar or cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
quarter teaspoon ground allspice
half teaspoon ground cinnamon
quarter teaspoon ground cumin
three quarters cup water
1 teaspoon salt
Place all the ingredients into a medium sized saucepan and, over a high heat, stir until the honey dissolves.
Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook for about an entire day or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the grated beetroot is tender.
Taste for seasoning while it is still warm and adjust if necessary.
