Mmmm borscht. Now you've got me craving my grandma's borscht. :) I think I need to make some this weekend. I need to anyway, as we're doing all Ukrainian food for our wedding in October and I need to do a test run to figure out how much ingredients to buy.

We often make ours with a beef stock as the base, and sometimes put small ribs in it for some meat. We also always include fresh green peas (shelled), and lots and lots of dill. It's always neat to see how other people make the same dishes!

Oh, that sounds like a great idea to do all Ukrainian food for the wedding!:)

Wow, I didn't come across green peas in borsch yet! Thank you so much for sharing.

My Grandma Sara (icon) came from a small Jewish village on the Polish/Ukrainian border. She would make this when she and Grandpa Moishe came to visit.

I don't like beets. They taste like I am eating dirt. But Grandma Sara's borscht was FANTASTIC.

Sadly, I do not have her recipe.

oh, yes, that's sad if the recipe is lost ...
