Momosita's Borscht

"This makes a wonderfully healthy, hearty borscht adapted from a recipe at Mothering.com. The original recipe calls for simmering for 2 hours, but we've found that this isn't sufficient for tenderizing even quality stew meat, so I've upped the cooking time to a total of 4 hours. I would add one tablespoon of honey first, taste, and only add more if needed. Don't forget the sour cream!"

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a SAHM who loves to cook for my small family! I have a 14 month old daughter, a wonderful husband, a seven year-old Keeshond and a cat named Rex Manly. I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
