Michael L. Love: Pomegranate nut fudge with blueberries - #nut #caramel #fudge #berries #blueberries
Healthy pomegranate nut fudge with blueberries is the latest
variation on the weekend fudge indulgence, but it is also a wonderful
component of a good diet. Cocoa lovers can add a serving of peanut
butter to the fudge, and the portion is expanded to 4 squares. You
will not be disappointed, but remember that you have used your nut
serving for the day! Pecans and walnuts add a delightful texture. A
bit of fresh squeezed orange juice enhances the chocolate flavor
considerably, but it also takes the edge off of the secret ingredient,
a dash of fresh ground pepper. If you add pepper and citrus juice,
don't forget to make a small amount of fudge, because it should be
eaten right away, not a problem for most people I should think ;-}. I
substituted pomegranate juice concentrate for agave nectar, which adds
enormously to the healthful polyphenolic content of the fudge, and
remarkably, the large punicalagin tannin molecules are known to be
absorbed into the blood stream and exert their beneficial effect in the
body. The pomegranate concentrate also makes for sweet fudge, tangy,
and tasty! If you are interested in the recipe, here is the link.
