Lyn, got slightly muddled, but was it you who posted about making a cooked beetroot preserve with raspberry jelly? I did this last autumn and have been delighted with the results, as have others who have shared the largesse, so would like to thank you. If it wasn't you, I'd like to thank whomever if they'd please identify themselves.

Hi GQ yes that's one of mine, glad you liked it and those of your aquaintance who tried it. It's a good way of using up gluts of beets when they all come together.

Would either of you like to lay hands on the recipe and repost it please :A

GOOD MORNING!!!!!

I have stress fractures and this is a good thing :j
All the metalwork in my foot is fine and the bones which were deliberately broken have healed well. Because my foot is now in a different position and I have been pushing myself, I've got a few little fractures to contend with. These will heal in three or four weeks. Just got to go back to the Aircast boot and crutches for a while:) I am so relieved. Had got a little bit worked up, sorry:o.

I have been thinking a stairlift in the future might be the way to go if I need it.
I can imagine myself descending the stairs in a feather and sequin outfit a la a Busby Berkeley musical extravaganza, a flattering spotlight framing me and just a few wisps of delicate cloud from a well positioned smoke machine to enhance the effect. I would be singing Robbie Williams "Let me entertain you" and the effect will be so stunning that our dinner guests will forgive the fact that my cooking is carp :rotfl:
Mr.Doveling can see me ascending the stairs in said outfit...oo,err missus hide the marmite!!

Alternatively, laundry aid would be good if a little duller.:D
Thanks for the cheer you give me, have a good day y'all x

I don't know how to cut and paste but on Facebook there were 42 life lessons by a lady called judy elliot and I thought she'd get on well with everyone on here good common sense.

Beetroot Relish

Cook and peel the beetroot. Dice it small. Make up raspberry jelly with malt vinegar instead of water. Put the diced beetroot into sterilized lidded jars (the lids with the plastic coating so they don't rust) and cover with the hot vinegar jelly. Put lid on straight away and leave to cool and set. This makes a jellied preserve that keeps for ages when not opened. When you do open it it's best kept in the fridge until it's used up. Hope you like it.

MrsL, thank you! I have a very prolific raspberry bush, and I've got some beetroot seeds .... I really like the sound of that

Doveling - great to hear you're mending

KARMACAT, the jelly is a dessert jelly you'd have for pud with fruit and not a jam style jelly, Lyn xxx.

I'll believe you.

I think getting a "little worked up" is very understandable.
When the boot comes off, try to be a bit kinder on yourself, says he who would do much better if he took his own advice.

I like the imagery.
