Pistachio Cranberry Sauce
©2014 Spork Foods, with pistachios and cranberries from Setton Farms. Reprinted with permission.

Cranberry sauce is the perfect holiday side dish, and it's so fast to whip up! In this delicious version, we're using pistachios to put a little spin on usual tradition. Pistachios are healthy, and they look great in this sauce! You’ll never have to resort buying that can of jelly-like sauce again.

DIRECTIONS:
Heat a 2-quart sauce pot and add water and brown sugar. Bring to simmer over medium heat and add cinnamon stick, fresh or frozen cranberries, lemon juice and zest, and sea salt. Stir to incorporate all ingredients. Simmer covered until berries burst and sauce thickens, stirring occasionally (about 10 minutes). Remove cinnamon stick and add in diced pistachios and dried cranberries. Cook about 1-2 minutes uncovered and remove from heat.

SERVING:
Serve warm or allow to cool, then refrigerate sauce overnight. Pistachio cranberry sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. (Makes 6-8 servings.)

Study Finds Vegan Diets Best for Weight Loss, Even if Plenty of Carbs Eaten
(University Herald) -- Researchers from the University of South Carolina found that people who say no to all animal products have the ability to shed weight faster than those who consume a diet that contains meat and dairy. A vegan diet may be the best answer for those looking to shed a few pounds and gain other health benefits. "We've gotten somewhat
carb-phobic here in the US when it comes to weight loss," the lead author of this study said in a statement. "This study might help alleviate the fears of people who enjoy pasta, rice, and other grains but want to lose weight." read more...

Study Links Milk Consumption to Higher Mortality and Bone Fracture Rates

Men who drank three or more glasses of milk a day had a slightly higher risk of death compared to those who drank less than one glass a day. And there was no reduced risk of fracture as milk consumption increased. read more...
