Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make cold borscht with sausage? Prepare your food. Pre-boil the potatoes and eggs and cool; you will need the beets raw. If possible, choose sausage of good quality, the highest grade.

Step 2

Wash the beets well and peel them. Grate it on a coarse grater.

Step 3

Fill the beets with cold, clean water and place on the stove over low heat. As soon as the water with the beets boils, pour vinegar into it — it will help preserve the bright color of the beets. Turn the heat to low and simmer the beets for about 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat and leave the beet broth to cool. Taste it and add vinegar and possibly sugar to taste — the broth should be tasty.
