Beth’s Beetroot Ketchup

I've been raving about this stuff all day but when it came to making it i ended up making a few tweaks that i loved. It is still, in essence, my dear friends recipe but changed enough i felt i could share my version without feeling guilty!   My version is very rich, sweet and …
