beautiful family

the cranberry mixture i made was with fresh crans and some apples and some oranges and cinnamon and cloves
in the cuisinart
and i just put it in those little popsicle trays/cylinders and voila!

here's a couple of recipes to pick and choose from YUM!:

Cranberry Sauce
by RoseLee Calabro

2 C fresh cranberries
1 orange
1 apple
1 C dates
water for consistency

Process cranberries, orange, apple and dates in a blender and serve.



here's another that sounds interesting (mine was WAY more like the first one above and i added some spices to taste and had leftover so i decided to make popsicles!)


Serves 6-8

2 c fresh cranberries, ground
1 orange (washed to remove any residues) chop very fine including at least one half of the rind.
2 ripe pears, peeled and chopped fine
1/2 c. walnuts or pecans, chopped into pieces
4 celery ribs (stalks), chopped fine
1/2 c. organic raisins or dates (pit and chop dates if using)
1/2-1 tsp. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1/4 tsp. each of ginger and allspice
1/2 c. raw, unfiltered honey or other sweetener (stevia)

Grind berries, chop fruit, mince nuts, chop celery and dates if using. Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve on a bed of leaf lettuce.

Option: leave cranberries whole and place in a saucepan with all remaining ingredients. Turn burner to low and simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.


Thanks to Rhonda Malkamus for sending!!!


*that first recipe is just SO simple and easy
the dates can be substituted with raisins or figs or a sweetener if you prefer
i'm pretty sure i made some with very few dates and added a bit more apple and orange for sweetness

there ya go!

p.s. the coconut water was just from the inside of a young coconut
well worth the effort to open and freeze for summer .
