Help? You don’t say how long the Beetroot, Cabbage and Horseradish Relish will last! How long?
Ready in a couple of weeks and will keep for upto a year.
I had loads of cabbage to use up and tried this without the horse radish but I put in the mustard powder instead.
My husband loves it and is using it with everything he eats.
Great recipes.
thanks.
Can I use red cabbage instead of white ?
Yes, but you’d miss out on the contrast in colour.
Wondered if I could use a savoy cabbage instead of White ? Plenty of them on allotment but no White cabbage.
I’m looking forward to making this but struggle to get root horseradish, will it work with horseradish sauce?
