Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Cranberry Applesauce

I love the sweet-tart combination of cranberries and apples! Here is an easy to make sauce that will leave your taste buds begging for more. And, by making it yourself, you can be assured that your cranberry applesauce will be relatively free of pesticides and corn syrup. This is so simple that you'll wonder why you haven't made your own before now!


Ingredients
2 organic apples
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar







Directions
Wash and chop apples. (I leave the peel on.) Wash cranberries. Set aside.

Place water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil.

Add fruit and reduce heat to simmer for 10 minutes or until cranberries begin to pop.

Remove from heat and cool at room temperature.

Using a hand-held food processor, blend fruit. For a chunky sauce, blend briefly. For a smooth sauce, blend longer.

Chill completely in refrigerator. Enjoy!
