Frozen Cranberry Orange sweetmeat
1 2/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup ground pecans
3 tbsp granulated sugar
6 tbsp butter, melted

Food And Dessert

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, ground pecans, and the sugar in a bowl. Add the butter to the graham cracker compound and mix together well. Press the compound evenly onto the lowest of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish that has been lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes until set. Cool wholly on a wire rack.

1 pkg (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1 can (12-oz) frosty orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 can (1 lb) whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/2 tsp almond extract

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the ice cream; mix together well. Gradually beat in the orange juice concentrate. Spread half of the compound over the cooled crust. Cover and freeze for 1 hour to set. Refrigerate the remaining ice cream compound while this time.

In a food processor or a blender, process the cranberry sauce and almond citation until blended. Spread half of the compound over the frosty ice cream layer. Cover and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

Spread the remaining ice cream compound over the cranberry mixture. Top with the last half of the cranberry mixture. Cover and freeze until firm.

This sweetmeat may be frosty for up to 2 months making it a exquisite sweetmeat for holidays or other busy times.

To serve, remove sweetmeat from the freezer 30 minutes before serving time. Cut into squares and serve.

Yield: 12 or 15 servings depending on size.

Quick And Easy Apple Crumble
Apple Filling:
4 large Granny Smith or Jonathan apples
2 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Crumb Topping:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 stick butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Peel, core, and slice the apples; layer in the ready baking dish. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon over the apples. Make the topping and sprinkle over the apples.

To make the topping, place all the topping ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix together well (works best when you use your hands!). Sprinkle over apples. Place in the 425 degree oven and bake 20 to 25 minutes until the apples are softened and the crumble is lightly browned. Best served warm (with a tiny ice cream, if desired).

Variation: You can use this same formula to make a berry crumble by using your beloved berries. Toss a tablespoon of flour with the berries before placing in the baking dish. This keeps the crumble from becoming soggy.

Note To Diabetics: You can make this a diabetic dish by replacing the 2 tablespoons brown sugar with 1 1/2 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend and the 3 tablespoons of sugar with 3 tablespoons Splenda Granulated.

Enjoy!
