Food and cooking tips

Oven Tips : Cook with the oven door closed. A partially open door wastes energy, costs you money, and warms you instead of the food.

Oven Tips : Fan-forced ovens cost 35% less to run than a conventional electric oven.

Dieting 101

The Glycaemic Index Diet
The gi index weight loss program is based on the gi index, a list showing types of food and a score illustrating the speed that the energy of the food type gets changed to glucose in your blood stream. The theory is that slow acting food types (ie those with a low Gi score), keep you satiated for longer and help to consume fewer food without feeling you are missing out.
It is also especially beneficial for sufferers from diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in reducing surges in glucose levels.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 lb Fresh Cranberries

1 1/8 c Vodka

1 1/8 c Sugar syrup (see recipe)

1/2 Orange wedge, scraped peel

Look for bright, plump cranberries, avoiding soft, crushed, or shriveled ones. Season is Sept. to Dec. They will keep in the refrigerator for 4-8 weeks (can also be frozen), but DO NOT wash them until ready for use as moisture will make them spoil. Rinse cranberries and chop in blender. Combine all ingredients in jar and steep for 4-5 weeks. Strain and filter. Ready to serve. Note: Cranberries can tend to have a bitter taste; more sugar syrup can be added during the first steep or if after, let sit an additional week. Yield: 1 pint Container: Wide mouth quart jar
