Apple & Nut Pockets Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 each large egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda filling:
2/3 cup apple butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 grated zest of 1 lemon
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1 confectioners' sugar for dusting

Recipe Preparation

To make the dough: In a medium bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer
set at high speed, beat the butter until creamy, about 1 minute. Add
the sugar and beat until light in color and texture, about 2 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour with the salt and baking
soda. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating
well after each addition. Scrape the dough onto a large piece of
plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Refrigerate until the dough is firm
enough to roll out, at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight. To
make the filling: Combine the apple butter, lemon juice, lemon zest,
and walnuts and mix well. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the
dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out
one portion of dough to 1/8 inch thickness. (If the dough crumbles,
work in your hands until malleable.) Using a 3-inch round cookie
cutter, cut out rounds of the dough. Gather up the scraps to work
into the remaining dough. Repeat the process until all the dough has
been used. Place a rounded teaspoon of the filling in the center of
half of the rounds. Brush the edges of the rounds lightly with water.
Place the remaining rounds on top of the filled cookies. Using a
fork, press the edges sealed. Don't worry if cracks appear in the
surface. Transfer the cookies to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until
lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and cool
completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar before serving. Makes
about 20 large cookies. Source: "An Edible Christmas" (A Treasury of

Food Tips of the Week

A few tips on healthy eating

In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
Some lower carb diet pointers:
* Make reduced carb breadcrumbs for deep fried foods. Although you can probably buy reduced carbohydrate bread crumbs, you can also make them by using reduced carbohydrate bread. All you have to do is toast the reduced carbohydrate bread in a gas or electric oven on a cookie sheet. Once it is hard, whizz it in the food processor using a coarse blade. Keep in an airtight container.

* Make great smoothies by using reduced carb yogurt. Yes, it’s not technically cooking, but if you adore smoothies you can make them with reduced carb yogurt and your favorite fruit. Clearly, you will need to make sure you only make use of fruit that is low in carbohydrates and use all of the fruit as the fiber is important too.

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, white onions and spring onions)

The onion family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulphides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is insufficient hard medical proof at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes.

Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so should be included in your weight loss program.
