Pink Rimmed Gefilte Fish

Strain borscht broth of beets and pour into a 4 to 6 quart soup pot or saucepan.

Add 20 baby carrots to the pot.

Slice and add 1 large onion to the pot.

Add 2 teaspoons of sugar to the pot, adjusting to taste.

Cover the pot and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, add the frozen gefilte fish loaf (keep it frozen until the last minute).

Keep the pot uncovered and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Strain the fish and vegetables, then unroll them and place in a sealable container in the fridge for about 4 hours.

Slice the chilled gefilte fish, ensuring it has a nice pink rim.

Clean the knife between slices to prevent color from running.

Prepare a side mixture with the strained carrots and onions from the borscht broth.

Optionally, make homemade horseradish with the strained beets by adding vinegar, salt, and sugar to taste.

Arrange the gefilte fish on a platter, adding fresh herbs and lemon slices for garnish.
