Borscht recipe

This is our friend Anya, we met her in a little shop where we'd go when we needed macaroni and stuff like that.  She was always very helpful and gradually we became friends.

Here is Anya's recipe for canned Borscht:

• 4 kg boiled beets, grated
• 2 kg green peppers, blanched
• 2 kg onions, diced
• 2 kg tomato, diced
• 250 gr vinegar
• 100 gr sugar
• 150 gr salt
• 350 gr oil

simmer in a pan until all ingredients are cooked,

then seal in glass jars.

This is great to have on hand, half a jar is enough for 2 of us, a good quick meal with a slice of bread.
We made half a recipe, got 3.5 liters.

I think these canning lids are interesting, nothing like what I was used to from home, and getting them off is not easy either!
