Wash beetroot and cut off the leafy tops without breaking the skin. Add the beetroot to a large saucepan of boiling water and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour or until skins are removed easily. Cool beetroot, cut in half or quarters, and pack into a sterilized jar.

Combine sugar, vinegar, water, chillies. star anise and pepper corns in a saucepan. Stir over a medium heat, without boiling, until all the sugar is dissolved. Cool, and strain over the beetroot to cover completely and seal.

Answer 3

Boil the beetroot first in plain water. Let it cool down and peel of the skin.

Slice it and then bottle it in vinegar.
