Cuisinette, The only Borscht I'm familiar with is the red (beet) borscht.
I've explained before, the red beet soup is traditional Russian, but people from other regions who don't like beet, use cabbage, potatoes or other vegetable.
Except the fact that the soup is not red, it has the same taste.
For example my family members that live in Kiev, don't like the beets but they use red cabbage.
Cuisinette, I love the taste my brain is cooking up with the sour cream in the Borscht. (I hope that isn't my brain cooking!! ) I wonder if plain yogurt doctored up would be an adequate substitute.
Hey, I love brains
Yogurt is not good, because it turns into curds because of the lemon juice.
Don't end up with cheese in your soup
And we only add sour cream when serving not while cooking.
Gem, My grandmother used whatever was on hand in a lot of her meals. There's no set rule as to what has to be in receipes. Try the fish soup and let me know how it turns out.
Cuisinette, I used to work for a Jewish pharmacist when I was in high school and the beet borscht was the only one I was exposed to.
They sure are and now I've got a craving for both. Maybe just maybe I can sweet talk the Mrs into at least one of them in a cobbler for tomorrow's dinner. Rather have a thin pizza crust style dessert but a cobbler is easier to store in the fridge in the smaller & deeper dish.
Ahhh, Nomad, that reminds me! I have a recipe for a wonderful fruit of any kind cobbler made in a 9x12 pan or half-recipe in an 8" pan. It is super easy and wonderful. My family loves it. I have to run now, but will make it tomorrow with cherries and post the recipe.

Well hubby was having a seafood craving tonight, so after an appetizer of homemade bruschetta with fresh romano cheese and cherry tomatoes picked from my garden, this is who he brought home:
1 box brown sugar
1 lb butter (I know ts alot!) @ room temp
1 can pineapple rings
sm jar maracino cherries
2 1/2 cups ginger ale
Mix brown sugar and butter together. Cover the ham with this mixture. Now toothpick your pineapple rings in place and pour the remaining pineapple juice in raosting pan. Top the rings with cherries and pour the rest of the maracino juice in the pan as well. Add ginger ale. This all cooks in with the ham and is used for basteing it. Like I said before let the ham rest when it is done cooking. That will allow the oil in your "gravy" to rise. Use your baster to get all that sweet goodness and your gravy boat will be the most popular thing on the table
Gem here you go Kats you too. It is YUMMMMY!
