Frozen Juice Concentrate / thick fruit syrup / tomato paste
-
* It's just like store frozen concentrated juice except it's raw & way more flavorful
* this mehtod separates the syrup from the water. (ice water stays frozen & the
concentrate drips out)
* acts as both sweetner & flavoring in dressing & dessert recipes.
* fast food & handy for unexpected company
* saves freezer
space
* makes lovely popsicles
* preserves bulk produce for winter
* easy for kids to make & impress their freinds (mine did) .
* gives intense taste to carbonated
water
* use as a syrup .
* also works with tomato, carrot or other veg. juices
* the intense sweeness of concentrates cuts down / eliminates need for other sweetners / dried fruit
* my plan for next winter is to have frozen mango juice & grape/ fruit punch/cherry/ watermello/peach,/pineapple/raspberry/appl/strawberry juices.
Probiotic mango lassi
This tastes fantastic, but I've never had 'real' lassi, so I don't know how close it is.
Vanilla Strawberry Swirl Ice Cream
I was inspired to create this raw, non-dairy Strawberry Swirl ice cream recipe on a rare and beautiful 60° day this March. I drove to Stanley’s Fruit & Veggie Market with the windows down and tunes blazing on the stereo. Magicalness indeed. In typical ChiTown style, the next few days were cold and rainy (oh, Chicago, I still love you). So, for the next few months I will have the memories of making this Strawberry Swirl ice cream with the breeze blowing through an open balcony door with sun dancing around the kitchen...you’ll be able to taste the sunshine in this recipe, promise. Bonus: You don’t need an ice cream maker!

Coconut Rainbow Salad
Fresh daikon, bell peppers, spinach, cabbage and carrots covered in coconut-chili-pineapple sauce and garnished with herbs, scallions, and fresh fruit. I made this salad out of a bunch of produce I had sitting in the fridge--I really liked this combination but I am sure other veggies and/or fruits would be delicious as well!
