Recipe : Apple Bulgur Breakfast
Procedure :
1/3 c Dried apple rings;
1/4 c Heaped bulgur;
2/3 c Cup natural yogurt
-=OR=- 2/3 c Fromage frais;
1/4 c Milk;
A little artifical sweetener -(optional) Mix the apple and bulgur in a bowl, then stir in the yogurt or formage frais and half the milk. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes, or until the bulgur is softened and swollen. The grain should stillhave some bite, although it can be left covered in the refrigerator overnight. Stir well and add extra milk necessary to make the mixture creamy. The mixture can be sweetened with artificial sweetener if liked. Very the fruit, if you like, or add fresh fruit to the plain soaked bulgar. Food Exchanges were not listed. Source: The Diabetic Cookbook by Bridget Jones.

Recipe : Apricot, Orange and Almond Jam
Procedure :
1 lb Dried apricots
2 oz Split almonds
3 Oranges
2 Lemons
2 1/2 lb Sugar
2 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
Chop the apricots roughly. Put them into a large bowl, sprinkling the fine grated zest of the oranges and the cinnamon between layers. Squeeze the juice of the oranges, measure and add enough water to make 3 pints in all. Pour the liquids over the fruit; leave to soak overnight in a cool place. Slide the contents of the bowl into a preserving pan and simmer gently until the fruit is beautifully tender. Check the fruit occasionally as it cooks and crush it down into the pan with a potato masher. It may need 1 1/4 hours to become really soft. Warm the sugar. Add it to the pan together with the juice of the lemons and the almonds. Cook gently until sugar is melted, then fast-boil until the saucer test shows that the preserve will set. Pot, tie down and label the preserve in the usual way. From WWiVNet. Reposted in Home Cooking by Cathy Harned.
