Crockpot Applesauce With Cranberries (Vegan) Recipe
Recipe
Ingredients
10 12 medium apples 1 to 2 cups cranberry juice 1/2 lemon juiced 2 tbsp sugar, or up to 1/4cup if 1 you want it sweet 1/4 to 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 or craisins (sweetened 1 dried 1 cranberries)
Recipe
Preparation
Wash the apples and chop them up without peeling. Squeeze lemon juice over them as you cut them.
Put apples in crockpot with cranberry juice -- use 1 cup if you want the applesauce thick, more if you want it thin. Stir in sugar to suit your taste.
Let apples stew on low for 6-8 hours. About an hour or two before serving, stir in cranberries or craisins. (All I found at my store was craisins--since they're sweetened, I used less sugar.)
The applesauce is a very pretty pink and the cranberries & juice give it a nice zing.
As you can see, the recipe is simple and forgiving -- let the apples stew a little longer or a little less ~- the longer you stew them the mushier the applesauce will be. It warms up nicely, or you can eat it cold.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
When deciding on a weight loss program, it is essential to try to restrict your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
Some reduced carb diet pointers:
* Use splenda instead of sugar.
Many recipes that need sugar can be changed to make use of a sugar replacement instead. It is not exactly the same so you will need to do a bit of trial and error and it might not work for every dish, but it does a decent job most of the time.
Foods containing lycopene
(includes apricots, red peppers & baby jackfruit)
Lycopene is a natural compound and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is behind the red color of quite a few fruits and vegetables.
Usefully, unlike numerous nutritional compounds, it does not become less effective if cooked but is observably increased in efficacy by the cooking process.
.
Lycoprene's main advantage is that it works as an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the chances of developing cancer.
Lycopene is the strongest quencher of singlet oxygen, which is correlated with skin aging. It is also thought to impede the progression of diseases affecting arterial blood vessels.
