Eat local and organic when possible, particularly thin skinned fruits and vegetables.  When not organic, soak in a ratio of 1 tsp baking soda: 2 cups purified water. Soaking 12-15 minutes is ideal. Gently scrub thick skinned fruits and vegetables. Rinse with fresh water. 

1.  Cranberry-Orange Relish

Cut one large, sweet orange into 1/8s.  Deseed.  Place orange (yes skin and all) into powerful blender (blend-tech, vitamix) or food processor.  Chop by pulsing blades.  Stir as required to chop ingredients.  Add honey or stevia if more sweetness is desired. 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger may be added as an extra digestive zing! Process in batches if necessary.

2. Fresh Cranberry Tea

Boil 1 cup fresh cranberries in 3-5 cups water until they rise to the top and start splitting.  Drain and sweeten with raw honey, maple syrup or stevia.  Drink.  Retain berries for smoothie or relish.

Proanthocyanidins (PACs), the most abundant flavonoids extracted from red cranberry fruits, have been reported to possess antimicrobial, antiadhesion, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22082264/)   positive research on UTI and periodontal disease and prostate cancer invites us to eat them all season long.
