\u00a0A Personal Family Favorite & An Alternative to High Fructose Corn Syrup<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Those of you who follow this blog know that we do not do High Fructose Corn Syrup. \u00a0Or any corn syrup, or corn starch or food starch or-or-or-or…. I took great pride for years that I make “everything from scratch” but I was a liar.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0I mean, compared to the average person, I made most things<\/em> from scratch. \u00a0Over time, though, I would make things inconsistently. \u00a0Take crackers for instance. \u00a0I always used to make my own but it was so difficult to keep up wth the family’s consumption that I often resorted to the healthiest ones I could find. \u00a0 I cheated. \u00a0Really, I do not think I should feel guilty for that per-se. \u00a0If I feel guilty for anything it is for the pride I possessed that I was doing something noble, even while poisoning my family. \u00a0You see, we discovered in a very hard way that we have a child allergic to corn. \u00a0And so I had to purge my home of all of those little “cheats” that wedged their way into my pantry slowly through the years. \u00a0I opened my cupboards and saw compromises staring back at me. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Homemade<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In the quest to get back to foods that keep my family happy and healthy, I had to dust off a few of Grandma’s recipes. \u00a0 My grandma was the toughest person I have ever known, when faced with any type of adversity. \u00a0Okay, this has nothing to do with the recipe, but I gotta tell ya–I cannot think of my grandmother without remembering her grit, her determination. \u00a0As a non-driver and main caregiver for my grandfather, we remember her walking to the grocery store–weeks after a heart surgery and on a broken leg! \u00a0Everyone would get mad about such things, but I still see her as a hero and I hope to one day have her spirit of determination. On that note, I am determined to keep my family healthy and off the modern food system that is poisoning this generation (and specifically, my child). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

This is a sauce or syrup, simply by how long you let it boil down or by adding more sweetener. \u00a0We use sugar for very few things<\/a>, I typically use honey in anything that calls for sugar. \u00a0However, this recipe really does require it, so please use organic sugar <\/a>to avoid the pesticides and herbicides. \u00a0I also believe that we need to source our food as ethically as possible, for whatever level of awareness we might have. \u00a0Since I study food, my awareness is high and I cannot bring myself to buy the stuff devastating entire communities and families (so we buy Fair Trade). \u00a0 You can now get Frontier Organic, Fair Trade Sugar in bulk at Pantry Paratus!<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Organic<\/p>\n

\u00a0(My last bag before switching to the bulk Organic, Fair Trade at Pantry Paratus!\u00a0 Wow, do I save money and packaging).<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Delia’s Chocolate Syrup Recipe<\/h3>\n

A six-minute recipe. \u00a0Makes just under 72 ounces (3 old pasta sauce jars’ worth)<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a0 6 cups sugar<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2 cups cocoa powder<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 3 cups hot water<\/span><\/li>\n
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0 On a pot over medium heat, add water, sugar, and cocoa. \u00a0Raise heat and bring to boil.\u00a0 Continuously stir and boil for 5 minutes. \u00a0Once you have removed it from the heat, add vanilla. \u00a0Pour the sauce into jars immediately and let it cool in the jars. \u00a0Once it cools, refrigerate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"Chocolate<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Use this chocolate syrup recipe on your homemade ice cream, chocolate milk, in your coffee, on (or in) anything else that would normally call for chocolate syrup or chocolate sauce.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Enjoy,<\/span><\/p>\n
