Hi, years ago I used to make a jelly with beetroot, using some of the juice, but can't recall which flavored jelly. Anyone remember!Lovely for BBQ's and with cold meat.

Lime was our family choice, it adds a little sharpness

I use raspberry and a little vinegar to cut through the sweetness.

410g can Wattie's Chunky Beetroot 85g pkt boysenberry jelly 2 tsp cider or white wine vinegar . Drain Wattie’s Chunky Beetroot and reserve liquid. Place boysenberry jelly crystals in a bowl and pour over 3/4 cup boiling water, stir to dissolve, add reserved beetroot juice and cider vinegar, stir to combine and set aside to cool for 15 minutes.
2. Mix in beetroot and pour into 2 1/2 cup capacity non-metallic mould, refrigerate overnight or until set. Serve with salad greens.
This was on food in a minute some time ago.The diced beetroot I find nicer than slices.Always a favourite in our household.

Thankyou I think now it may have been boysenberry, but lime sounds like a great option. I used to make this more than 20 years ago, great to hear it has become popular again.

I can remember someone I know using Port Wine jelly, don't know if you can still get it even.

Port wine jelly is available in Australia - one to bring home next time you visit!A much wider selection of jelly flavours is available in supermarkets there.

I saw plenty of port wine jelly packets in Countdown last week.
I also make it up for an adult dessert with port wine and tin of boysenberries. Use the drained berry juice and make it up to slightly less than the recommended quantity of liquid with port wine. Dissolve the crystals then add the boysenberries.
