[BalancedHealth] Raw Food Blueberry/Cashew Apricot Cookies

[Guest guest]

If you have been around S-A for a while, you might have picked up on

the fact that I am a recipe'aholic. I love coming up with healthy,

creative dishes and this seemed so neat I had to share this from the

group- Balanced Health..

 

Enjoy,

ps- If you don't own a dehydrator, sometimes setting the dish in the

sun is enough, or if it needs a bit more " umpf " than that, cooking

it on the lowest setting of the oven, perhaps even with the door a

jar, if the oven seems too hot to your liking. For something like

cookies I would imagine you shouldn't need more than an hour or two

of oven time. And if all else fails, take the wetter dough, roll it

into coconut shreds until it holds and presto-chango- a cookie is

born.

 

Raw Cookies (Blueberry / Cashew Apricot)

 

Blueberry Cookies

 

2 cups Blueberries

 

2 cups Almonds (soaked overnight and blanched)

 

1 cup soaked raisins (small cup)

 

Blend till crumbly consistency, then use a spoon to spoon the batter

out on a dehydrator plastic tray. Dehydrate for 24 hours or until

dry (do not overdry) at the temperature of 105F. Turn them over in 8-

12 hours or when you see that one side is dry enough.

Cashew Apricot Cookies

 

2 cups Cashews soaked overnight

 

1 cup Sweet and sour dried or fresh apricots

 

1 cup soaked Raisins (small cup)

 

2 overriped bananas

 

Follow the above procedures.

 

If you wish to make some variations, then use the above batter, add

soaked poppy seeds for CASHEW APRICOT POPPY SEEDS COOKIES or sesame

seeds (also soaked) for... yes, CASHEW APRICOT SESAME COOKIES.

Experiment with your favorite nuts, seeds and fruits. It is always

good to use a combination of a fresh fruit and some dried soaked

fruits with nuts or sprouted grains.

 

 

" To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or

that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only

unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American

public " .
