Our younger son admitted, "I don't really like this soup, but Granny's is the best!" Mom's soup was always made with buttermilk. I suspect that is closer to the original, as buttermilk was a staple in Mennonite kitchens. It gives the rich texture and enhances the slightly tart taste of the sorrel. I don't think sorrel is supposed to be bitter. Rather, it is tangy. Not all sorrel tastes the same. The taste probably depends on the soil in which it grows.<br />Pat Gerbrandthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034689936362417748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370246165526656947.post-22407885519629570122014-09-02T18:43:08.942-05:002014-09-02T18:43:08.942-05:00My mom and my grandmother made Zumma Borscht with ...My mom and my grandmother made Zumma Borscht with either a pork bone (or bacon if times were tough) and beet tops.

This summer I started making one Menno dish a week for my kids because I want to pass on the culture.

That is the way I, as a German, would write it. And I love sorrel, maybe you even know the German name "Sauerampfer"? Fortunately I think my parents have it in their garden somewhere. <br />Viele Grüße aus Deutschland<br />Anja :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-370246165526656947.post-78174662660498926152013-08-20T18:18:18.354-05:002013-08-20T18:18:18.354-05:00Mmm...my favourite of the borscht's ;)
