A Christmas Borscht Recipe

A christmas borscht recipe

Makes 8 servings.
In our times, Christmas is one of the last remaining times that a family gets to eat together for a couple of days or more. Traditional Xmas cuisine is just dandy, but before too long you really don’t want another meal based on Turkey.
That is when it is a good idea to cook a meal somewhat exotic, and this Christmas Borscht Recipe is perfect in that role!

Ingredient list
32 oz diced canned beets

3 cup water

1 celery stalk

1 carrot, chopped into quarters

1 bay leaf

1 garlic clove, peeled

1/4 teaspoon peppercorns

1/4 tsp salt

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon sugar

A small amount of dairy sour cream or dill for use as a garnish

Recipe instructions
Drain beets, reserve the liquid and put beetroot aside.
In a good sized pan mix the liquid from the beetroot, water, celery, carrot, bay leaf, garlic, peppercorns and salt.
Bring to a rolling boil.
Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove solid ingredients with a slotted spoon.
Stir in reserved diced beetroot, lemon juice and sugar.
Carry on simmering for 10 minutes or until heated through.
Serve topped with sour cream (or dill sprigs as a garnish)
