Borscht Base for Winter with Apples and Bell Pepper

Another take on a homemade base for a delicious, vivid, and fragrant borscht. This batch yields about 4 liters (roughly 1 gallon) of borscht base — really tasty, aromatic, and bright. I've been canning this recipe every year for ages now, and it's a real lifesaver when you need to get soup on the table in a hurry. Give it a try!

    1. Wash and peel the beets, then grate them on the coarse side of a box grater. Do the same with the carrots. 2. Rinse the bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and cut them into small dice. 3. Rinse the tomatoes, score a shallow cross on the bottom of each, and pour boiling water over them for a couple of minutes. Slip off the skins, then cut the tomatoes into cubes. 4. Pour the vegetable oil into a large pot, set it over medium heat, and let the oil warm up. 5. Add the beets, stir, and cook for 10 minutes. 6. Add the carrots, stir again, and cook for another 10 minutes. 7. Meanwhile, wash, peel, and core the apples. Grate them on the coarse side of the grater. 8. Add the tomatoes, bell peppers, and apples to the pot with the beets and carrots. Stir everything together well. 9. Add the sugar and salt, stir, and simmer for 45 minutes. 10. Seed the cleaned hot chili peppers, cut them into small dice, and add them to the pot. 11. Peel the garlic, press it into the pot, and stir. Simmer for 15 minutes. 12. Pack the mixture into jars, seal, and wrap them up until fully cooled. Your borscht base is ready — store it somewhere cool.
