Cooking process

Borsch with prunes is one of my favorite types of borscht. You can prepare it both on a meat broth, and a lean variant. I often cook lean, because it tastes more prune. Prunes give the borscht spicy notes and a pleasant taste. Such borsch is an excellent dish for a family dinner, try it!

To prepare borsch with prunes, prepare all the necessary products from the list. Immediately put a pan of water on the fire and bring to a boil.
