I used to buy the well known all-natural brand until<\/span><\/p>\n

they changed their ingredients. Watch out for the phrase
\n“No-sugar-<\/span>added.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0That is an intentional deception.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manufacturers should\u00a0be required to state just as boldly,

Directions: How\u00a0to make\u00a0Cranberry Sauce<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Bring
\nto a boil; add cranberries, return to a boil. Reduce heat and
\nboil gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Place a wire mesh strainer over a medium mixing bowl.
\nPour contents of saucepan into strainer. Mash cranberries
\nwith the back of a spoon, frequently scraping the outside
\nof the strainer, until no pulp is left.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stir contents of bowl. Pour into serving container. Cover
\nand cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate
\nuntil serving time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThis Recipe Makes 6 molded popsicles<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1\/8 cup +1-1\/2 tsp coconut cream
\n<\/span>
\n 1 and 1\/8 cups jellied cranberry slices
\n<\/span>
\n 1 small frozen banana broken in pieces
\n<\/span>
\n 1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (to taste) \u00a0Some sweetness<\/span><\/p>\n

gets reduced\u00a0when frozen.\u00a0(Don’t use sugar-free<\/span><\/p>\n

sweetener. It tends to be too icy).<\/span><\/p>\n

1\/8 tsp salt
\n<\/span>
\n 1\/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or vodka or
\nsweet red wine will help keep
\n<\/span>
\n mixture from freezing rock hard.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Optional:<\/strong>\u00a0 After removing from\u00a0 mold,
\nPress Moist Pops on a dish or parchment
\npaper full of sprinkles<\/span><\/p>\n

\nInstructions<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

For dairy-free fudgsicles I use\u00a0<\/span>coconut cream in place
\nof yogurt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I look for at least 75%<\/span>\u00a0coconut and\u00a0<\/span>22% fat.
\nUnlike other fats,\u00a0<\/span>coconut<\/span>\u00a0saturated fat has heart-healthy
\nomega 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

* See Health benefits of coconut cream<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(You can also use non-dairy yogurt). If you want the the
\nclassic tart yogurt\u00a0<\/span>flavor, you may add apple cider vinegar
\nto taste (1\/2 tsp to 1 tsp).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Place slices of jellied cranberry sauce\u00a0 pieces. Combine
\nall ingredients in\u00a0<\/span>food processor until\u00a0smooth. (Omit vanilla
\nif using vanilla-flavored yogurt.)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I recommend using a food processor or blender or immersion<\/span><\/p>\n

blender to ensure\u00a0thorough blending. Taste, and add more<\/span><\/p>\n

sweetener if needed \u2013 you want the\u00a0mixture to taste a little too<\/span><\/p>\n

sweet, as sweetness level will decrease once frozen.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the kids,\u00a0just press the moist pops on a<\/span><\/p>\n

dish of sprinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pour into popsicle molds<\/strong>. Stand on flat surface in<\/span><\/p>\n

freezer.\u00a0\u00a0After about a 2 hours, insert popsicle<\/span><\/p>\n

sticks into the fudgsicles\u00a0and return them to the<\/span><\/p>\n

freezer.\u00a0Allow about 6 hours to freeze and serve.<\/span><\/p>\n
