Hola, hoy quiero enseñarte a preparar una deliciosa mermelada, no es de fresa ni tampoco de melocotón, es de una raíz a la que posiblemente jamás hayas imaginado como postre pero te sorprenderá saber lo versátil que es, y que incluso puedes llegar a preparar helados con ella, además de deliciosa, la remolacha o betabel, es conocida por contener betaína, un nutriente que ayuda a proteger tus células, además aporta hierro y es muy buena para subir tu hemoglobina, pero en fin, no me extenderé demasiado en ese asunto, el caso es que es muy saludable, pero ahora, sin más preámbulo pasemos a la lista de ingredientes.

You should take into account that with the quantities I am offering you, you will be able to fill a 500 Ml bottle but you could double the amount of ingredients to get more product. The first thing to do is to cut the beetroot into small pieces and process in the blender. The beetroot should be completely raw.

Then put the processed beetroot in a pot.

Add half a cup of water and bring to a simmer to prevent the beetroot from burning.

After about 5 to 10 minutes dip a teaspoon in and scoop out some of the beetroot puree and check that it is a little soft, if so it is time to add the cup of sugar, stir slowly until the sugar has completely dissolved and boil for a further five minutes.

After this time, turn off the heat, add the juice of one lemon, stir to combine and allow the beetroot to become lukewarm.

When it has cooled down, process again in the blender to obtain a much smoother and more delicate texture, this will be the last step to have your jam ready.

This is the texture it should have, soft and delicate, the colour is very characteristic of beetroot, this is because of the betaine, the nutrient that will protect your glands from external aggressions the taste is between sweet and a touch sour due to the lemon, it doesn't taste like beetroot, but like cherries or something like that.

Finally, it is highly recommended that you use glass jars because this material will help with the preservation of the jam.

At home we like to eat it with biscuits but you can also spread it on sweet bread or toast and it will also make a perfect snack or breakfast.

Be sure to prepare this delicious jam, it is healthy and very delicious, a sweet alternative that you should try if you don't like beetroot, dare to give it a try.
