Title: Tomato and Vegetable Juice Blend
Categories: Beverages, Canning
Yield: 1 recipe

Quantity: An average of 22 pounds of tomatoes is needed per canner load
of 7 quarts. Not more than 3 cups of other vegetables may be added for
each 22 pounds of tomatoes.

Procedure: Crush and simmer tomatoes as for making tomato juice. Add no
more than 3 cups of any combination of finely chopped celery, onions,
carrots, and peppers for each 22 pounds of tomatoes. Simmer mixture 20
minutes. Press hot cooked tomatoes and vegetables through a sieve or
food mill to remove skins and seeds. Add bottled lemon juice or citric
acid to jars (See acidification directions). Add 1 teaspoon of salt per
quart to the jars, if desired. Reheat tomato-vegetable juice blend to
boiling and fill immediately into jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process. Recommended process times are given in Table 1,
Table 2, and Table 3.

NOTE: This following section of the guide appears to contain some sort
of error in the information given within Table 2 (below). In the USDA
book, there are only TWO sizes of jars specified in the table, but there
are THREE separate lines of figures in the table, and it is not
completely clear which jar size the second and third entries refer to.
I have given the third entry’s numbers as those to be used for Quart
jars, and I have reprinted the second entry on the table separately, for
an unknown jar size.

Title: FRUIT SWEET AND SUGAR FREE – PEACH OAT BRAN MUFFINS
Categories: Breads, Diabetic
Yield: 12 lg muffins

——————————-FRUIT AND NUTS——————————-
3/4 c Pecans
1/2 c Date pieces
2 1/2 c Chopped peaches

——————————WET INGREDIENTS——————————
1/2 c Fruit sweetener
2 Eggs
1/2 c Oil
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 ts Peach extract
1 1/4 c Unsweetened applesauce
1 c Oat bran
3/4 c Rolled oats

——————————DRY INGREDIENTS——————————
2 1/8 c Brown rice flour
1/3 c Oat flour
2 1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a regular size muffin tin
with lecithin spray. Toast the pecans in the oven for 7-10 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Allow the nuts to cool. Then coarsely chop
them with a knife or with a pulsing action in a food processor.
Coarsely chop the peaches. In a medium size bowl, mix together the
fruit sweetener, eggs, oil, vanilla, peach extract and applesauce.
Stir in the oat bran and the rolled oats. Let this mixture sit for a
minimum of 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl, stir in the pecans and
the date pieces. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients,
and stir in the wet mix. When half mixed, stir in the chopped
peaches. Be careful not to over mix, the muffin batter should be
lumpy. Use a #12 (1/2 cup) scoop to place the batter into the
prepared muffin tins. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for
35-40 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the muffin pans before
removing them. Be extra careful when handling these muffins because
they are very fragile when warm.
