Borscht Base for Winter with Cabbage

Want to make borscht fast in winter? Put up the vegetables with this recipe! It's a real lifesaver for anyone who can't (or just doesn't want to ;)) spend a lot of time in the kitchen. One jar of this base—pint jars work best—will make 4–5 liters of delicious borscht. If you're making just a vegetable soup without meat broth, use less water so the borscht comes out rich.

  • First, of course, wash all the vegetables well. Peel the beets and carrots and grate them or shred them in a food processor. Peel the onion and chop it finely. I sometimes cut the carrots into rounds and the onion into half-rings—I think it makes the finished soup prettier. Cut the stem ends out of the tomatoes and blend them (or just chop them small). Shred the cabbage. Now put all the vegetables in a large pot: beets first, then tomatoes, carrots, onion, and cabbage. Add the sugar, vegetable oil, salt, and vinegar. Stir everything well and set the pot over the heat. While the base is on the stove, don't forget to sterilize the jars and lids. Bring the contents to a boil, lower the heat, and cook the vegetables until tender (about 25 minutes). Then pack the finished base into jars and seal the lids. Wrap the jars in a blanket and let them cool upside down. Your cabbage borscht base for winter is ready! It keeps even at room temperature.
