I made borscht with canned beets a couple of times; it was so-so, at
best. Then a few years ago we started growing beets in our little
backyard garden and sooner or later I tried borscht with fresh beets.
To us, it made a world of difference. So don't give up on your
neighborhood markets, keep your eye out for fresh beets, and try
borscht again when you find some.

Oh, and when you buy them, keep the greens and steam them. They're
great, too. --aem
