Homemade Cranberry Sauce

(from Kaylynn Sims)
1 pkg fresh cranberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
In a medium saucepan combine sugar and water. Add fresh cranberries. Heat on low to medium heat for about 10 minutes until the cranberries start to pop. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Sugared Cranberries

(from Kaylynn Sims)
Wash the cranberries. Pour your favorite juice concentrate over the cranberries. I use orange juice. Let them marinate overnight or at least for 6 hours. Take them out and roll them in sugar. Eat. The sweet with the tart is fabulous.

Coconut Lime Sherbet

In food processor, blend 1 tbsp lime zest, 1 c sugar, and 1/8 tsp salt. While going, add 2/3 c lime juice and 1 1/2 c water and process until sugar dissolves. Cover; chill in freezer 40-60 min (don't freeze). In mixing bowl, whip 2/3 c cream til soft, then add chilled juice. Add 1 can coconut milk. Process in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's directions.

Fresh Mozzarella and Tomatoes

Slice 2-3 large tomatoes; lay flat on a plate or serving tray. Top with 1/4 inch slices of fresh mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with 4-5 chopped basil leaves, salt, & pepper. Pour on a couple tablespoons each of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, or prepared balsamic vinegraitte salad dressing.

Pasta Salad

8 oz cooked pasta
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 cup cubed mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp vinegar
1/4 c olive oil
4-5 basil leaves, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients. Add more vinegar or oil to taste. Chill 1-2 hours before serving.

Pesto

2 cups fresh basil
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1/2 c olive oil
3 tbsp walnuts
3 tbsp garlic
Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor; blend until smooth. Stores for a few days in the fridge, or freeze it in an ice cube tray. When the cubes are frozen, put them in a ziploc bag in the freezer to pull out as needed. You can combine a cube of this with a cube of butter for pesto garlic bread; combine 1 cube per 8oz of cooked pasta, 1 tbsp butter, and 1/4 c parmesan cheese for easy pesto pasta; add a cube to marinara sauce for more flavor.
