GEORGIE’S NOTES

This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

I use the excess liquid from cooked, fresh beetroot in vacuum sealed 250g packs from the fresh section of supermarkets. Alternatively you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice instead of a combination of beetroot and orange juice.

Sweeten with honey to your personal preference.

Instead of figs and orange use whatever seasonal fruit you like.
