Ohhhhh....my Grandma used to make the BEST borscht! Another favorite was kasha mit varnishkes, which was kasha with bowtie pasta all mixed together. Try as I might, I just can't get the krispyness of the kasha like Grandma could! Sigh. She also used to make fruit compote. Basically, she took about 4 different kinds of apples, a few pears, some prunes and raisins, peeled, cored and cut up. Then she just boiled them down forever. It was like hot applesauce, but the prunes and raisins gave it a tangy taste!
