Categories     soups and stews, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 of a pound of beets
2 cups cranberries
3 cups water
3 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2/3 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill

Steps:

  • Peel and grate beets. You may want to wear rubber gloves or perhaps put small sandwich-size plastic bags over your hands when grating beets to prevent staining. Also be sure your clothing is protected when preparing this recipe.
  • Place beets in a saucepan with cranberries and water and simmer 20 minutes or so until beets and cranberries are very tender.
  • Strain beets and cranberries, reserving the liquid. Puree beets and cranberries in a food processor, combine with reserve liquid and return to saucepan. Add sugar, salt and lemon juice and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir sour cream to smooth it. Stir sour cream into the soup and reheat but do not allow to boil, then serve. If desired the soup can also be served chilled. Garnish with dill before serving.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making some modifications to suit your own taste. For example, I added some grated carrots and celery to my borscht and it turned out great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my borscht turned out way too sour. I think I might have added too much lemon juice.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I would recommend using a slow cooker or Instant Pot to make it easier.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this borscht. The cranberries and the sweetness of the apples really balance out the earthiness of the beets.
