Ukrainian Christmas Borscht with Vushka – Recipe
Ukrainian Christmas Eve is a very solemn family time, and just as important of a holiday, as Christmas Day.
The day of Ukrainian Christmas Eve is a fasting day, thus no meat is consumed at all, and all the meals are small, and very simple.
Uzvar – Dried Fruit Drink Recipe
During the summer months when fresh fruits and berries are in abundance I like to cook a fruity drink called Kompot.
At Christmas time I prepare a similar drink called Uzvar, which contains mostly dried fruits and berries, plus a few fresh apples.
Kompot and Uzvar may be sweetened with honey, however, I like to use a packet of Strawberry Jello powder for flavor, sweetness, and color.
