Grind
1 cup raisins.
Mix all ingredients except rum flavoring in large bowl, stirring in
spices and flour, then date sugar if desired. Add flavoring and mix
again. Place in covered bowl or other container with tight lid;
refrigerate at least one week before using or canning. (1/2 inch head
space, boiling water bath 20 min for pints after water returns to
boil, longer for altitudes over 1000 ft.) If any jars fail to seal,
freeze for later use.
To freeze after refrigerating for the recommended week, place in clean
freezer containers or jars, leaving 1/2 inch at top. Cover with clean
lids and place in sharp-freeze section of freezer until frozen. Thaw
overnight in the refrigerator before using. Makes 1 quart, enough for
2 8-inch pies.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
Some low carb diet pointers:
* Don't miss meals
Most reduced carbohydrate recipes are, errmm.., low in carbs. Your body needs energy, and carbs are a rapid acting energy source. A low carb diet requires extreme care in managing your intake of energy, as the energy provided by protein and fat is less efficient.
Lycopene foods
(includes grapefruit, red peppers and spiny bitter gourd)
The nutrient lypcopene is a simple chemical compound and member of the same group of phytochemicals as carotene. It is the reason for the red colour of some types of food.
Usefully, unlike numerous other healthy agents, lycopene does not become less effective if subjected to heat, but is genuinely strengthened by cooking.
.
Its most interesting medical value is that it acts as an antioxidant and appears to be an asset in the fight to lower the risk of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the most powerful eliminator of singlet oxygen, which is linked with aging of the skin. It is also believed to prevent the growth of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
