Notes
- A food processor will make the preparation of the vegetables quick and easy, saving you plenty of time!
- This is an excellent recipe to make ahead of any special occasion. It keeps up to three days in the fridge and freezes well for 2 months. Simply reheat in a saucepan with a splash of water, if necessary. Otherwise, it can be zapped in the microwave, or covered with foil and reheated in the oven.
- Feel free to experiment by substituting different ingredients. E.g. different vinegars, such as balsamic or red wine vinegar. Dark brown sugar will yield a deeper flavour. You can use red or white wine in place of cider.
