1/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice =or=-
1/4 cup rum
1 package (or 1 tb) active dry yeast
1/3 cup milk, heated to lukewarm (105 to 11, 0 degrees)
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup margarine
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Directions
Directions:
Combine the raisins, apricots and apple juice (or rum) in a bowl.
Let soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. Combine the yeast, milk
and the 1/2 cup of flour in a bowl. Mix until smooth and the mixture
looks like think mashed potatoes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth
and let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
Meanwhile, cream the margarine, sugar, salt, almond extract and lemon
rind. Beat in the yeast mixture and 1-1/4 cups of the flour. Turn
the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead in about 1/4
cup more flour, or until the dough is soft. Knead for 3 minutes.
Put in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
Once the dough has doubled, knead in the raisin mixture and almonds.
Knead until well mixed. Roll the dough into a rectangular 12- by
6-inch shape. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place on a lightly-oiled
baking sheet and let rise about 30 minutes. Bake in a 375-degree
oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool partially on a wire rack. Glaze the cool but not cold stollen
with the apricot preserves. Serves 15

Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, leeks and green onion) The onion family of foods is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is little scientific proof obtainable, allyl sulphides are also thought by many researchers to help with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also low in calories, so you should add them to your diet system. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes parsley, mangos and winter squash) These fruit and veg are rich in carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by many play a key part in minimising the risk of cancer, spefically cancer of the lungs and stomach. The majority of these are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime. The Zone Diet The Zone diet is a weight loss program primarily invented by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet isn’t expressly a weight reduction diet, but many people believe that they seem to lose weight by following the zone diet. The scientific theory behind the Zone Diet is that if you limit the levels of two important hormones, (insulin and glucogen), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts one's body in a balanced state that is more wholesome than other diets, which is known as the zone. Sears claims that a body that is in 'the zone' is working at its best and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The most valuable technique of the zone system is to keep tight control over the precise ratio of carbs to proteins, and to take high levels of Omega 3 and omega 6. |
