Apple and cranberry are rich in antioxidants. Individually apple skin is rich in pectin. Its inner pulp contains malic acid and tartaric acid that prevents liver infections and disturbances in addition to enhancing digestion. Cranberry, on the other hand is a superfood with high phytonutrient content having several health benefits.
A good cranberry sauce can be made by cooking 250gms of it in about 2gms of butter and half a cup of water in a pan over low flame and waiting until the cranberries burst to get a yummy sauce that can be sweetened with honey as per taste. Add a pinch of sea salt to improve the taste further. Once the sauce is ready, it can become a healthy and tasty ingredient that can be blended into food supplement drinks to get delicious and nutritious mocktails.
Recipe1: Add four teaspoons of thick cranberry sauce in orange juice and get a sweet-sour flavoured nourishing drink. Make the drink a little chewy by adding bits of pre-sweetened apple to it (sweeten a quarter of an apple in a teaspoon of honey). This allows you to chew the fruit and let the drink stay longer in the mouth so it can mix well with the saliva, enabling a better digestion process in the mouth itself, rather than gulping the food supplement drink in a rush.
Recipe2: Mix a quarter of unsweetened apple squash and a quarter of cranberry sauce in any food supplement drink that is not dairy based. It will give a good flavour and texture to the drink. Add pepper to taste and finely chopped mint leaves on top for a refreshing flavour, aroma and look.
