  1. Pretty good! I used 2 galas, 1 granny smith, 4 small dates (I think medjools are rather large compared to the dates-in-a-bag from Dole or Aldi), and only 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. I thought that was still too much cinnamon for my taste. Very easy recipe! Thanks! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag game.
     
  2. Simply delicious and delicious in its simplicity :) I will be trying this in other recipes (baking and such), eating it with granola and/or yogurt cheese and attempting to make fruit leather with it with my dehydrator!!! Possibilities are endless :) - Thanks Missy Wombat!!!
     
  3. I think this is outstanding! The dates give extra sweetness, and go quite well with the cinnamon. I made half the recipe, which gave me quite a lot of applesauce. I spooned it over yogurt, and crushed meringues on top of that, then it went into the freezer for an hour...superb! I also did the same with a whipped, aerated fromage blanc, and this was also really excellent!
     
  4. This was interesting. This is the first raw food vegan recipe I've ever tried. I don't have a food processor, so made this in a blender....a little difficult to process. I'm sure a food processor would have worked a lot better. At first I had trouble adjusting to the taste and texture of the raw applesauce, because it was different from what I'm used to. For a beginner, I think the raisins are a 'must'! Also, I think the cinnamon was a bit strong. I'm not sure if the cinnamon is trying to make up for the lack of sugar, but it was too much for my taste.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
