Meanwhile, I'm still eating borscht! :-) Jon took some to work today and was actually concerned about portion control - it is so good he thinks it must be bad for him.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081995834192948768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165628413656215171.post-76116872313319537422011-02-02T10:53:58.791-08:002011-02-02T10:53:58.791-08:00Well why don't I do that myself.

Other than that I generally followed the recipe. I used both veg stock and chicken. The great thing about this is that there is no saute the veg step just fire everything into the pot and let'r rip! I would suggest adding more fruit (it called for 1/3 cup) I used raisins but dried apricots would add a nice sweetness/tartness. This makes a lot so I have frozen some for later. It is a really good stew full of flavour!christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09066471624341476399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3165628413656215171.post-44632450455221429702011-02-01T18:30:38.300-08:002011-02-01T18:30:38.300-08:00My sister made the butternut squash and leek stew ...My sister made the butternut squash and leek stew and pronounced it fantastic.

My favorite thing to make is soup, so I want to check out the fresh slow cooking blog. I agree, that aroma when something really yummy is cooking, it's almost as good as Thanksgiving!nancyspointhttp://www.nancyspoint.comnoreply@blogger.com
