  • minutes.
  • Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl, and drape a moist kitchen towel over the bowl, but do not wrap the dough.

  • Spread the blended sauce (or sauce and cut up veggies) over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border
  • around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Begin rolling the dough until you have one large roll (looks like a Stromboli).

Cranberry Sauce – Many Ways

Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce – Many Ways

Adapted from CookieandKate.com
This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing, too. Explore the many uses of cranberry sauce below and enjoy it throughout the winter – not just at Thanksgiving!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 8
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces cranberries 1 bag fresh or 2 1/2 cups frozen
  • 2 Tbs. maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 medium orange Zest of 1 medium orange, preferably organic, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the cranberries well and drain off excess water. Pick through the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones.
    Cranberries in Pot
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, maple syrup and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 10 minutes, until many of the cranberries pop. Using the back of a spoon, crush some cranberries against the sides of the saucepan to create a thick mixture.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of the orange zest (save any extra zest for garnish). Add the cinnamon and stir to combine. Taste and if the mixture is too tart (keeping in mind that cranberry sauce is supposed to be a little tart!), add the optional orange juice.
    Orange Zested
  • The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. It will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

MANY USES:
  • Crostini – for an easy and colorful appetizer, slice a small loaf of crusty bread. Brush with a little olive oil and toast in the oven until light brown. Spread toasted bread slices with soft cheese (brie, cream cheese or other), top with cranberry sauce and garnish with a pinch of extra orange zest.
  • Sweet Potato Topper – for a delicious sweet-and-tangy side dish, bake a foil-wrapped sweet potato until done (yields to touch). Remove skin and mash with a fork. Top mashed sweet potato with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and optional toasted pecans.
  • Breakfast yogurt – add flavor and color to plain yogurt by mixing in a small spoonful of cranberry sauce. Top with granola and an additional dollop of cranberry sauce for a simple, nourishing breakfast.
  • Dessert parfaits – for a beautiful and tasty treat, layer crushed chocolate cookies, softened vanilla ice cream and cranberry sauce, 2 to 3 times, in a glass. Enjoy immediately. If making in advance, substitute pudding or yogurt for the ice cream and refrigerate. Try using shot glasses for mini parfaits – just as delicious but less filling.

Servings 1
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup oats (old-fashioned oats)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 dash cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 medium apples with peel, cored and chopped
  • 1 Tbs. raisins or dried cranberries
  • 1 Tbs. nuts toasted chopped
  • 1 cup milk of your choice

Optional Ingredients:

  • Toasted coconut flakes.

Instructions
 

  • Clean and have ready a Ball jar (pint sized), or a large glass (16 oz or more).
  • Wash, core and dice 1/2 of a medium apple (do not remove peel). Gala, Honey-crisp or other local apple varieties work well. Set aside.
  • Toast nuts in a dry pan, checking often, until fragrant and slightly brown. Chop and set aside.
  • Prepare, measure and set aside the other ingredients, including any desired optional ingredients.
  • Assemble in the Ball jar, or glass, by creating 2 identical groups of layers. Milk will be added at the very end. So start with half of everything. Oats first, salt and cinnamon next.

Finish by slowly adding all the milk so that it seeps down to moisten every layer.
  • Cover and chill overnight. Eat cold in the morning, straight out of the jar. Or if you prefer a warm breakfast, heat slightly in a pan or microwave. Enjoy!

Apple Butter

Apple Butter

Makes 3 pints
Apple butter is a highly-concentrated form of apple sauce produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown. In contrast to what the name implies, there is no “butter” in apple butter. The name comes from its smooth and buttery texture.
Servings 3 pints

  • Continue cooking the apples uncovered and stirring occasionally, until they become thick, velvety and a deep mahogany color, about 1 hour.
