Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients

• 12 ounces cranberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup orange juice (2 oranges, orange juice concentrate)

Directions 

Blend 2 oranges, 2 tbsp of orange juice concentrate, and 1 1/2 cups of water.  In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in the orange juice. Stir in the cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.  (use the rest of the orange juice to make the kamut fruit salad.)

• 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt and then add pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a saute pan saute almonds until they are toasted (you do not need oil, just put the almonds in the pan and let the pan warm up then keep them moving so they don't burn.)
