If you love cranberries, you must try this vividly pink, wonderfully tart cranberry applesauce. It makes a great condiment for savory foods (such as pork or fish dishes), but it can also be eaten alone.

Keep in mind that this will turn out very tart. If you don’t like the tartness, you can add some Splenda or sugar on it while it’s cooking.

Hummus is a popular Middle-Eastern dip made of ground chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, and garlic, and often olive oil and paprika.
It is a nutritious food, containing a large amount of protein, dietary fiber, iron, and varying amounts of monounsaturated fat.
Once you find out how easy it is to make it yourself, you will never buy it premade again, as it tastes much better.

Edit: Shooky from the Hummus Blog has suggested using dried chickpeas instead of canned ones, because canned chickpeas lack a lot of nutrients (you can read more about this here).
