I was trying to use up some fruit that was getting towards the end of its life. Using a recipe in 500 Fat Free Recipes as a starting point I made one up. As it turns out, it was excellent. The only change I made was to decrease the amount of candied ginger called for. I used 3 pieces which was a little too intense. If you want a subtle flavor, use just 1 piece of candied ginger. Ingredients:
2 lbs apples |
1/4 cup clementine juice (about 2 clementines) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/8 cup splenda sugar substitute |
1 -2 tablespoon candied ginger (1-2 pieces) |
Directions:
1. Wash, core, and quarter the apples. (I like a variety of apples.)
2. Juice the clementines and the lemon.
3. Put the apples and both juices into a 2 quart microwave safe dish with a lid. Close it and microwave, on high, for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes stir and put back in the microwave for 9 minutes on high.
5. When it is done let it sit for a few minutes without the top on to cool a bit.
6. Place the apples and all their juice into a food processor and whir until it is nice and creamy.
7. Add the splenda and whir a bit more.
8. Chop up the candied ginger and fold it into the apples with a spoon.
9. Put in a different container and chill.
