APPLE-CRANBERRY SAUCE

This is a simple apple-cranberry sauce. If you eat sugar, you will probably find this recipe way too tart, so adjust to taste. I make applesauce all the time. The great thing about making it from scratch is you can adjust the amount of sugar.

BROWN RICE WITH APPLES AND CRANBERRIES

This dish is inspired by a wild rice salad recipe of Martha Stewart's. It is good cold or room temperature, but I prefer it heated up. It is better to make it at least a day before and refrigerate it. This gives the flavors time to blend.
