Yöntem

1. Grate the beets¹ and carrots² on the coarse side of a grater, dice the onion³ and pepper, and chop the tomatoes⁵, then puree them in a blender or press them through a sieve.

2. In a pot, saute the onion³ and pepper in oil for 4 minutes, add the carrots², and cook for 4 minutes.

3. Add the beets¹, tomato⁵ puree, sugar, and salt, stir, and simmer covered over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Pour in the vinegar and heat for 2 minutes.

5. Sterilize a 0.5 l jar over steam for 10 minutes and boil the lid for 5 minutes.

6. Pack the hot borscht base tightly into the jar, cover with the lid, and sterilize in a pot of hot water for 15 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil. Seal immediately.

7. Turn the jar upside down and wrap it until cool. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months, and keep an opened jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Add to borscht 5 minutes before the end of cooking.
