Homemade Cranberry Juice
<p>Homemade Cranberry Juice: Sweet but not too sweet</p>
<p>Why homemade?</p>
<p>Homemade is everything when it comes to fruit beverages. These days you see a lot of factory-made fruit juice products lined up on grocery shelves—powdered fruit juices, canned fruit juices, sweetened fruit juices, instant fruit juice—but are these as healthy as your regular homemade unsweetened fruit juice? The answer is NO. These fruit sodas aren’t as healthy as drinking a freshly-squeezed homemade fruit juice, at least not by a mile.</p>
<p>The same is true with homemade cranberry juice. Drinking freshly-squeezed cranberry juice everyday is healthier and does a lot of good stuff for the body. Powdered or instant cranberry juices have too much sugar in them. Fruit sodas, on the other hand, are mixed with caffeine, and you’d end up getting addicted to it and drinking more sodas. There goes your “One fruit juice a day keeps the doctor at bay” diet.</p>
<p>The sweet tart-like taste of cranberry juice is what sets it apart from other fruit juices. It’s easy to prepare, too—shouldn’t take anyone more than a couple of minutes. So why not give it a shot? Here’s how:</p>

Homemade Granola
<p>Making up a batch of this healthy staple today, as I have more or less continuously since the 1970s, it occurred to me that I should share the recipe.</p>
<p>This is one of our family’s staples for breakfast (mixed with homemade yogurt and topped with a pile of chopped fresh fruits), and makes a tasty,healthy topping for cobblers and pies… It’s very adaptable, easy to whip together, and a good source of vitamins, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. (The wheat germ adds vitamin E and folic acid, but for a gluten-free variation, it can simply be eliminated without affecting the final product. Just reduce the hot water to 1/4 c.)</p>
<p>The amounts may seem large, but they work out to use entire packages of things if you don’t have a way to buy them in bulk, and the recipe makes just enough granola to fill two 13×9 pans for toasting it, thus using the oven most efficiently. Don’t worry, the granola stores beautifully, but it’s also yummy and will go fast!</p>

Homemade Ketchup
<p>I watching a cooking channel and came across a segment by Jamie Oliver about making your own ketchup. Not likely something your kids will like but certainly for the adults with a more open pallet.<br />
You can certainly tweek the recipe if there are items you do not want to use or have in your cupboard.</p>

Homemade Marshmallows
<p>I am so glad I finally can make marshmallows that taste good and don’t have a bunch of chemicals and high fructose corn syrup in them! I realize this recipe has organic white sugar in it, but marshmallows are white, after all, and I couldn’t figure out any other sweetener that produced a white, fluffy marshmallow other than white sugar.</p>
