Borscht for the winter with tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use canned tomatoes! Opt for whole peeled tomatoes and chop them, or use diced or crushed tomatoes for convenience. Adjust seasoning as canned tomatoes may already contain salt or herbs.
Properly sealed jars can last up to 1 year in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cellar. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3-4 days.
Skip the chicken leg and use vegetable broth instead. For richness, add mushrooms or beans. The rest of the recipe remains the same!
Transfer it to a pot and warm gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water or broth if it’s too thick after storage.
Yes! Cool the borscht completely, then freeze in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Absolutely. The sugar balances acidity, but you can skip it or use a natural substitute like a grated apple or a pinch of honey instead.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, fresh dill, and crusty bread. For extra flair, add a sprinkle of grated garlic or horseradish.
Yes! Double or triple the ingredients, but divide the borscht evenly among jars to ensure consistent cooking and sealing. Adjust spice quantities to taste.
