Hearty Ham Borscht image

I like to keep a big pot of this borscht simmering on the stove during busy times on the farm. That way, folks can dip into the kettle when they have a chance to sit down for a quick meal.

This is the best borscht I've ever had! The flavors are perfectly balanced and the ham adds a delicious smokiness. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this borscht. The sweetness of the beets was balanced out nicely by the tanginess of the tomatoes. I also appreciated that this recipe is relatively healthy, especially when compared to other borscht
