Cranberry Sauce (Smooth)

3 c Fresh cranberries (1 12-oz.

3 c Water

1 T Low-calorie raspberry gelati

1 x Artificial sweetener = 1 cup

1 x (aspartame or liquid sweeten

1 x Blue food coloring (optional

In a saucepan, heat the cranberries and water to the simmering point. Simmer for 15 minutes, until the berries have burst and the liquid takes on a syrup-like consistency. Strain mixture through a sieve; discard berry skins. To hot liquid, add gelatin, sweetener, and 1 or 2 drops blue food coloring, stirring until dissolved. Pour into a 3-cup gelatin mold and chill overnight. Makes 12 (1/4-cup) servings. Each serving is 1/4 fruit, approximately 11 calories. NOTE: The reason for the blue food coloring is that without it, this cranberry sauce is very RED. If you want it to look more like the canned stuff (a purplish hue), just add a drop or two of the blue).

              Roasted Tomato Sauce

              Makes 4 1/2 cups.

              3 pounds tomatoes (as ripe as possible)
              1/4 cup pure olive oil
              6 to 8 large garlic cloves, peeled
              1 cup fresh basil leaves or 1/2 cup fresh oregano
              1/2 teaspoon salt
              1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

              Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

              Peel tomatoes by dipping them in boiling water for 30 to 40 seconds; slip off the skins. Remove cores. Cut tomatoes in half around the middle and squeeze out seeds. Quarter tomatoes and place them in a baking pan lined with foil. Put remaining ingredients over the tomatoes and bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until tomatoes collapse, become saucy, begin to lose moisture and turn slightly brown. Stir the mixture occasionally to break up. (As moisture cooks out, volume decreases.)

              When the tomatoes have been reduced to a chunky sauce, remove from oven. Run through the food processor or use in chunky form.
