COLD CHERRY BORSCHT
Because this looks so much like a beet borscht, I decided to call it a cherry borscht. Cherries are a terrific source of two phytochemicals, quercetin and ellagic acid, that may have antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory properties. The anthocyanins that give the fruit its red color are thought to have anti-inflammatory properties as well. It's worth noting that the Environmental Working Group found a great number of pesticide residues on conventionally grown cherries, so seek out cherries that are grown locally by small farmers.

Steps:
- Set aside 18 cherries. Pit the remaining cherries, holding them over a bowl to catch the juices. Place the pitted cherries in the bowl with the juices, and place the pits in a small saucepan. Add 1 cup of the water, the rose geranium sprig, the sugar and the lemon zest. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Strain the liquid in the saucepan into the bowl with the pitted cherries. Discard the pits.
- Transfer the cherries and liquid to a large saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Working in batches and covering the blender top with a kitchen towel to avoid hot splashes, puree the soup, about 1 1/2 cups at a time. Strain through a medium strainer into a bowl, pushing the soup through with the back of a ladle or with a rubber spatula. Stir in the almond extract, a pinch of salt and the lemon juice. Chill the soup by placing the bowl in a larger bowl of ice water, or refrigerate.
- When the soup has chilled, whisk in the yogurt. Taste and add more lemon juice if desired.
- Serve garnished with the cherries you set aside.

Steps:
- Place the beets in an 8-inch-by-8-inch-by-2-inch dish, with the smaller ones toward the center. Cover the dish tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cook the beets at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 16 minutes. Prick the plastic to release the steam.
- Remove from the oven and uncover. Allow the beets to stand until cool.
- Wearing rubber gloves to prevent staining your hands, peel and grate the beets. Reserve.
- Combine the vegetable broth, sugar and vinegar in a two-and-one-half-quart souffle dish or casserole with a tightly fitting lid. Cover and cook at 100 percent power for three minutes.
- Remove from the oven and uncover. Stir to dissolve any remaining sugar. Stir in the reserved beets. Refrigerate until cool.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients and season. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
