Pink Sauce

Cranberries and macadamia nuts. The perfect compliment to one another.

170g Dried Cranberries, or Craisins
100g Macadamia Nuts
175ml (3/4 Cup) Rice Milk
1 1/2 Tablespoons Virgin Coconut Oil

----In the blender, mix at high speed and stir out the air pockets as necessary. Blend until it's as smooth as you'd like it. This is deliiiicious as a pudding on it's own, but it also goes nicely with most anything sweet!

Sticky Christmas Candy!

This is more of a fruitarian recipe-we are trying to eat more fruits in our diet as they are so good for you.

180 Ml (3/4 Cup) California Raisins
120 Ml (1/2 Cup) Desiccated Coconut
2 Tbsp Dried Cranberries
4 Dried, Pitted Dates
2 Chunks of Dried Mango (or a teaspoon or two if you need a measurement)
2 Tbsp Agave Nectar (or maple syrup or honey)
1 Tbsp Chopped Nuts (I used Pecans but any nut would do fine. Just be sure to rinse them before blending.)
1/4 tsp Ginger
Pinch of Cinnamon
Pinch of Allspice (optional)

Everything in the food processor at high speed. Use a teaspoon to scoop it into little balls. This would also make a good pie filling if you doubled the recipe or so; as it tastes sort of like mincemeat (for you in the States, mincemeat is not meat at all. It is a spicy-fruity filling used for pies and such). Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!
