BORSHT

Contributed by Courtesy of Women's Branch of the Orthodox Union

1 bunch fresh beets (about 4)
½ onion
1 ½ tsp salt
1 quart water
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sugar
Sour cream

Wash and peel beets. Cut in half and shred in food processor with either fine or coarse shredding disc. 

Instructions:

Put in pot with water, onion and salt. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 1 hour, or until beets are very soft. Turn off heat.  Stir in lemon juice. You may stir in 1 cup sour cream at this point. Chill well or float 2 tbsp sour cream on top of each serving. 

>Notes: BORSHT - (Nothing beats the taste of homemade borsht!) Can be served as a soup or as a beverage.
