Commercial dried sweetened cranberries are made using food processing methods and equipment not available for home use. If you want to experiment with home drying of cranberries, you can find advice in two books: Mary Bell, Mary Bell's Complete Dehydrator Cookbook (New York : William Morrow, 1994) and Deanna DeLong, How to Dry Foods (Los Angeles : HP Books, 1992.) Both authors recommend using water that has been brought to a boil to pop the skins of the cranberries. See similar questions...

Research indicates that cranberries contain specific compounds, “condensed tannins,” and “proanthocyanidins,” which prevent the adherence of E. Coli bacteria (the primary cause of urinary tract infections) to the walls of the urinary tract. Thus, the bacteria (such as E. Coli) simply wash away in the normal cleansing process of the urinary tract. See similar questions...

One advantage of these sweeteners is the harmless effects on the teeth because neither of these sweeteners cause tooth decay. The amount of Ace-K and sucralose we use is proprietary information.

I use ovencleaner. Chas Klensch, Underground Press, NYC I understand that oven cleaner is basicly lye, which is what the old timers used. I read somewhere not to use lye for cleaning (I think they were trying to sell some sort of chemical instead) so I ran out and tried it. It works so well on metal type that the stuff looks new.

you know, the urinary system works to cleanse waste products from the body and works to keep minerals and water in balance. Urinary tract infections (bladder infections, cystitis, etc.) are caused by certain bacteria sticking to the urinary wall. Studies have shown that proanthocyanidins (PACs) found within cranberries block the attachment of bacteria to the urinary bladder wall. These bioactive factors help support the integrity of bladder walls, thus encouraging healthy urinary tract function. See similar questions...

They are far less expensive that canned beans. If you do not have any beans in your freezer and would like to stock up, use this recipe: Rinse beans in a colander and check to be sure there are no stones or other debris. Place beans in a dutch oven and cover with water so that the water is twice as deep as the beans. See similar questions...
