<i>Why make your own cranberry juice? Well, sometimes it can be hard to find cranberry juice that hasn't been sweetened with corn syrup (I <span style="font-size: large;">hate </span>the thought of drinking anything sweetened with a GMO corn product!!), plus it's just fun to make your own juice! And, now that I've switched over to using a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Temperature-Indicator-VICTORIO-VKP1054/dp/B0058SSUV0/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=steam+canner&qid=1550158136&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull">steam canner</a>, it's quick and easy, and you can make just a few jars vs. a whole canner full. If you can find cranberries on sale after the holidays, you're in luck! This is basically the same method I use to make my <a href="https://andreainseason.blogspot.com/2010/09/home-canned-grape-juice.html">Home-Canned Grape Juice</a>.</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 c. semisweet chocolate chips</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3 T. butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 t. vanilla extract</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 c. chopped pretzels</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
25 soft caramel candies, unwrapped</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 T. heavy cream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1/4 t. sea salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
25 whole mini pretzels, for garnish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sea salt, for garnish</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, making sure to leave some overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the bottom and sides and set aside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until combined. Place bowl in microwave and heat for 1 minute on high. Remove from microwave and stir to combine. If needed, heat an additional 15-30 seconds. Stir until chips are completely melted and chocolate is smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and chopped pretzels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place caramels and heavy cream in large microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring well after each increment, until the caramel is melted and smooth. Stir in 1/4 t. sea salt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add half of the fudge to the prepared baking pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Add the caramel and spread evenly over the fudge with a spatula. Add the remaining half of the fudge and spread it out evenly over the caramel. Top with pretzels and a sprinkling of sea salt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Place the fudge in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or until the fudge is solid enough to cut into squares. (I like to chill it overnight.) Cut fudge with a hot, wet knife. Fudge will keep in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: small;">At my birthday celebration at Houlihan's restaurant earlier this month, my nephew ordered Pomegranate Guacamole. When it came time for him to select a recipe for his contribution to our family's Christmas dinner, it was no surprise that he asked if we could try making it. This recipe was delish and tasted just like the restaurant's version; I'm guessing we'll be featuring it again next year!</span></i></div>

I'm beginning to realize why this recipe is called "Crack"! This is all that was left after I took a batch to my quilt group's All-Day-Sew today!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the recipe (adapted from time2saveworkshops.com)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saltine crackers (1 sleeve plus a few more)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 sticks of butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 c. brown sugar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 t. pure vanilla extract</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1 bag milk chocolate chips (I usually use semi-sweet)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
nuts, sprinkles, or M&M's (optional)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Line cookie sheet with heavy duty aluminum foil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cover cookie sheet with a single layer of crackers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bring butter and brown sugar to a biol, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remove from heat; add vanilla extract.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pour mixture over crackers, then bake for 6 minutes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remove from oven; pour chocolate chips on top of crackers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Allow chocolate to soften for a minute or two, then spread evenly over top of crackers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add nuts, sprinkles, or M&M's on top of melted chocolate if desired.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cool, then refrigerate. Once it has hardened, break up into bite size pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ENJOY!!</div>

After my mom died over ten years ago, my dad was great about picking up my mother's role of sending birthday and Christmas cards, and mailing me a modest but generous check each birthday and each Christmas in place of the gifts my mother would have purchased for me. But once my dad passed away, suddenly there was a void at both of those holidays for me. I used to look forward to receiving both of those checks every December, and I always used them "For Fluff", as that was the wording my dad always included on the memo line of the checks. It was so fun shopping for myself without any guilt!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So, to fill that empty hole and to help keep the memories of my father fresh and alive in my heart, I instituted my own annual Happy-Birthday-to-Me and Merry-Christmas-to-Me shopping tradition several years ago. I know it sounds incredibly selfish and full of commercialism at first glance, but for me it is a very, very special tradition.</div>

Several books I've been wanting to read as well as some quilting books (what's Christmas without a few quilting books?!!):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0307352153/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452438733&sr=1-1&keywords=quiet"><br /></a></div>

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0307352153/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452438733&sr=1-1&keywords=quiet"><b><i>Quiet</i> by Susan Cain</b> </a>- I checked this book out of the library at the recommendation of several friends. It's a very, very slow but fascinating read. After renewing it a number of times, returning it, then checking it out again, only to make it one fourth of the way through the book, I decided it was cheaper to buy the book than keep paying the library fines! Even though I love people, I'm a true introvert at heart, and it's been really enlightening to read my thoughts in a book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/TOX-SICK-Toxic-Sick-Suzanne-Somers/dp/0385347723/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1452439016&sr=1-1&keywords=tox-sick"><i>Tox-Sick </i>by Suzanne Somers</a> </span> - Even though it makes me nuts to admit that I want to read a book by Suzanne Somers (even the cover bugs me!), I've heard really good reports about this book, and I do know that she is on the right track with a lot of her research and writing. She talks about coffee enemas in this book (sorry to mention such a subject in this post, but I've heard some amazing feedback from people who have had the courage to give this crazy procedure a try!!). I'm eager to read it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In fact, it makes me want to gather some friends together and meet in public to stitch together for the next "World-Wide-Quilting-in-Public Day" on June 20 (I think that's the date!).</div>

I love her approach to quilting - to slow down and do more hand stitching, to savor the process vs. rushing through it. I had the chance to meet her this summer at the Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show and see several of the quilts in person that are featured in the book. So, this book was immediately placed on my Christmas Wish List when I got home. :)</div>

My dear friend Rose passed away two years ago this very day. At the last minute, we felt inspired to gather a group of her friends together and do a Rose-style potluck meal down along the Conestoga River, complete with china, tablecloths, flowers and candles - exactly the kind of event Rose might have orchestrated and delighted in. </div>
