Make Your Own Dried Fruit Snacks



We all love sweets. Fortunately, plenty of sweet but healthy foods can be made at home. So next time, skip the triple-layer chocolate cake and try a delicious homemade fruit snack.
Dried fruit snacks are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy a snack. You can purchase them at our local supermarket but we suggest you try making them yourself as they are much healthier!
Here are instructions to make your own dried fruit snack.
1 - Select the type of fruit that you would like to use for your fruit snacks. Good choices are bananas, peaches, grapes, pears, kiwi, mango and pineapple. The fruit must be fully ripe and unblemished.

2 - Rinse the fruit in lukewarm water. Peel the fruits that need to be peeled, such as bananas, peaches, pears, kiwi, mango and pineapple.
3 - Dip any light-colored fruits in lemon juice to prevent darkening while in the oven. This includes apples, apricots, bananas, peaches, pears, mango and pineapple.
4 - Cut the fruit into quarter-inch slices. Cut smaller fruits, such as grapes, in half. Pears and apples must be cored, and you will need to remove the pits from peaches, cherries, mango and apricots.

5 - Preheat your oven to 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the fruit in one layer on a cookie sheet. After the oven has heated up, place the cookie sheet in the oven. Open the oven door a few inches to allow air to circulate.

6 - Check on the fruit and flip with a spatula every hour. Fruit can take anywhere from eight to 24 hours to dry out. If your fruit is taking a very long time and you must leave it unattended, turn the oven down to 100 degrees F. Flip the fruit again as soon as possible to avoid overdrying. When the fruit becomes leather-like, it is done.

7 - Allow the fruit to cool. Fruit snacks are best when consumed immediately but will last for about four days to a week. Store in plastic bags and place in the refrigerator.

Enjoy your healthy dried fruit snacks! It's always great to have your dried fruit snacks at your fingertips

Cooking Live Lobsters – How to make it more delicious



It is a well-known fact that live and fresh lobsters are safe for eating. So, before cooking a live lobster you should know about its type. For instance, if you bring home a hard-shelled lobster, you must know that it can possibly survive for two days, if preserved in the right manner. However, a soft-shelled one can only live for a few hours when it is thrown out of the water. This is the reason why it becomes important to know the nature and type of lobster you are buying.

When you have made your mind to spend your money on shrimp and lobsters, it is advisable to both buy and cook them on the same day. This will almost completely eliminate the risk of food poisoning, arising out of eating seafood. Store the lobsters inside your refrigerator for a considerable period of time. And do not worry about losing them as they are not good movers out of the water.

Cooking live lobsters for the first time can be a bit tricky. Though grilled lobsters are a popular choice, boiling and steaming these sea creatures can prove to be a lot easier and safer for you the first time round. As the usual practice is to cook the lobsters alive, you should treat the poor creatures as kindly as possible before that. The cleanest and the easiest method would be to place them inside the freezer for about 30 minutes before taking them for cooking. The lobsters would be almost asleep by then and hence would not feel the pain when you start the cooking process.

The buying part of a live lobster and the shrimp is equally as important as the cooking process. You must be absolutely certain about what you are looking for. When you go to the market you will notice that the Maine lobster is the most popular and common type out of all the lobster species. This type of lobster is known for its taste and aroma. It is important for you to hold the lobster in your hand before buying it. First of all, you will have to find a lobster which is more active. The more it moves around, the better it is. The lobsters that may appear tired may be very close to dying. These lethargic types would not prove good for your health. Hold the lobsters firmly and try to squeeze their body. This method will help you to judge whether the one you are holding in your hand is hard-shelled or a soft-shelled lobster. As mentioned earlier, the hard-shelled ones survive longer, and therefore make a good buy. However, if you are not sure for yourself, then ask the salesperson, he would help you out.

While buying a live lobster, you would also be better served if you bring a cooler for transporting them to your home. This would be the most practical solution for keeping the lobsters as fresh as possible unless you stay very close to the market.

How You Can Plant Grape Vines



Doesn't the thought of relaxing with a tasty bottle of wine seem stylish? And the thought of being able to sip on a bottle of wine that you produced yourself does seem even better. It's not as complex as you might think to plant and grow a good grape vine that will generate grapes for you to generate wine with.
How large should your individual vineyard be? That's one thing you'll have to choose, but a great place to get started is with 12 vines or so. By planting some grape vines, you'll be able to generate an adequate amount of fresh fruit for a five gallon batch of home made wine. You'll start by getting year old vines from a local nursery. These will be dormant grape vines that were cultivated by the nursery in their fields. You need to buy these dormant vines in early spring while they're still dormant. This will give you time and energy to get them planted before the spring rains get started and they come to life and continue to grow all over again. It's also very important to acquire plants back in the ground before they come out of being dormant for the winter season. And having them planted just before the early new season rains will give them a little time to settle in before the growing time starts. If you are unable to plant them right away for some cause, keep in mind to keep the roots moist by spraying them with water.

Planting grape vines is a simple process. You start by digging a hole that's large enough to suit the full root structure in it easily. Then maintain the grape vine upright while you fill it in with garden soil. You should be certain the entire root system is covered, but allow any buds on the vine to stay exposed to the air. Tap the soil down gently to ensure stability. You can also build a small slope in the direction of the grape vine to make sure that water will run to the roots when it rains. This also makes it easier to water them and keep the soil wet.
As soon as your grape vines begin to grow you need to ensure the soil near them continues to be slightly humid. This will be based upon your position and the amount of rain you've received lately, but don't be worried to provide them a little extra water. This is certainly true if your soil is very sandy, as the water will run through sandy soil very quickly. Just determine the soil situation on a daily basis, and if it's dry, give them some water. Assuming that there's no standing water on your grape vines, extra water won't have any ill results.
It's also crucial to make certain the grape vines you have planted get a good amount of sun light. Select an open area where they can get sun all day long, and refrain from areas that receive a lot of dark areas masking them. These open zones will also often have very good air circulation, which your grape vines also require. Photosynthesis is what will allow your grape vines to create sugar within the grapes, and this sugar is necessary to making wine. Sugar is what turns into alcohol during the fermentation process.
With a little planning and hard work, you can turn that dream of making your own wine into a fact. And the quality of wine you created yourself is usually just a bit healthier than wine you buy.

1. Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the onion in the oil until soft. Add the lamb meat to the pan, and fry until just browned on the outside. Season with cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Pour just enough water into the pot to cover the meat. Cover, and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until meat is tender and the mixture is stew-like. Displace lid a little after an hour if there appears to be too much liquid.

2. Add the pears, golden raisins and almonds to the stew, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the pears are soft. Serve with rice.

How to Improvise a Super Easy Homemade Pizza


Imagine, if you will, the scenario from whence this homemade pizza recipe came to exist. I was watching a movie with friends last Friday, and it was getting late. Towards the tail end of things, we were hit with hunger. The first instinct of my friends was to order in for food, in this case specifically pizza. But I couldn't allow that, seeing as I knew I could whip up something, even at this late hour.
Sure, my friends had their doubts, but that only served to fuel me making pizza even more. It's easier to just order pizza, they said, plus I didn't have any cheese around. Would I let their nay-saying deter me from making pizza? Of course not!
Now, of course, I faced a problem in that I didn't have an easy pizza recipe to turn to in this situation. Instead I decided to improvise. I grabbed some flour, some tomato sauce and some vegetables, and went to work.

Super Easy Homemade Pizza

Serves: 6
Cooking Time: About 10 minutes
Ingredients:
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ⅓ cup lukewarm water
  • ½ cup tomato sauce
  • 1 small jar roasted red peppers
  • 1 small green pepper, sliced
  • ¼ cup black olives, chopped
  • ¼ cup broccoli, chopped
  • 2-4 tablespoons garlic, to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1-2 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked
  • Olive oil
Instructions:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and the water to form a basic dough.
  3. Roll out the dough until about ¼-inch thick and spread over a greased baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough.
  4. Spread your vegetables over the sauce. Add the herbs over top and drizzle the pizza with some olive oil.
  5. Bake the pizza for about 10 minutes, until the crust is crispy and the vegetables on top begin to brown. Serve and enjoy.
Naturally, I was a bit nervous removing this homemade pizza from the oven. Did this actually work? Is it edible? I removed the pizza and cut it up into individual servings. I gave a piece from this easy pizza recipe to each of my friends and anxiously awaited the results.
So what were their thoughts on my homemade pizza experiment? It was universal acclaim, at least amongst the three of them. Truthfully, I was surprised by how well this turned out, even without any cheese available. This was my first real attempt at making pizza from scratch, and I don't know why I did wait this long. Making pizza is a fairly simple process. Take a grain base, add some sauce and toppings, and bake until done.
I hope the reasoning behind me making pizza again is different, but I will absolutely be turning to this basic easy pizza recipe again. Pizza is an incredibly versatile medium, and there are too many sauce, cheese and topping possibilities for me to decide on one next. I will say that I don't think I will be ordering a pizza anytime soon though.
Your Turn: Do you make your own pizza? What are your favorite pizza toppings?

Who doesn't like having gulab jamun, the most preferred sweets food not only in India but also in neighboring countries?

Spicy Lebanese lamb tart recipe


The Arabic Food Recipes kitchen (The Home of Delicious Arabic Food Recipes) invites you to try Spicy Lebanese lamb tart Recipe.  Enjoy tasty & easy Lebanese Recipes and learn how to make Spicy Lebanese lamb tart. 
 
This wonderfully simple lamb tart is excellent topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt. Serve with a fattoush salad.

Serves 4 |
Takes 15 minutes to make, 35-40 minutes to cook

Ingredients

375g ready-rolled puff pastry
1 tbsp semolina or polenta
1 large free-range egg, beaten
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
500g lean lamb mince
1½ tbsp pomegranate molasses (we like Al Rabih, from Sainsbury’s)
2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 chillies, 1 deseeded and finely chopped, 1 sliced
25g pine nuts, toasted
200ml chicken stock, hot
Bunch of fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped, plus extra to garnish
Bunch of fresh coriander, chopped
Handful of pomegranate seeds

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/fan180ºC/gas 6. Trim the puff pastry a little to make a 30cm x 20cm rectangle. Score a border 3cm inside the rectangle with a knife and place on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with the semolina or polenta. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg, taking care not to brush directly over the scored line, and prick the inside rectangle several times with a fork to stop it from rising. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the edge of the pastry rectangle has started to rise and turn lightly golden, then remove from the oven.

2. Meanwhile, heat a heavy-based pan with the oil and cook the onion gently for 5 minutes until soft. Add the lamb and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring until browned all over, then stir in the pomegranate molasses, allspice, cinnamon, finely chopped chilli, pine nuts and stock. Cook for 10 minutes until the stock has reduced, leaving sticky lamb mince. Stir through the parsley and coriander, season, then spoon into the puff pastry case.

3. Sprinkle with the sliced chilli and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes more. Serve sprinkled with the extra parsley and the pomegranate seeds.
