#1- Orange Cranberry Beet Sauce with Orange Pomegranate Beet

2 small beets or 1 medium beet 1 bag cranberry (8 -12oz will work) 1/2 cup sugar 1 can Orange Pomegranate Beet Boochcraft 1/4 cup orange juice orange zest/rind- 6 Large slices (like the garnish in an Old Fashioned cocktail) 1/2 inch grated ginger To roast beets, place in a foil packet with olive oil and salt and bake at 375 for 45 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool and then peel them and finely dice the beets Add all the ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Put a lid on and reduce to a simmer and allow to simmer for about 30 minutes until cooked down. (You will hear the cranberries popping so be sure to have a cover on when the liquid begins to boil). At this point you can remove from heat and lightly smash everything together or remove the lid and cook down further if you like a thicker cranberry sauce. Remove from pan, allow to cool and refrigerate until ready to serve, can be made a couple days in advance. Can be served as a side dish with dinner or a great appetizer poured over cream cheese (or a vegan sub!).

#2- Butternut Squash Soup with Apple Lime Jasmine

1 butternut squash 2 tbs. olive oil 1 medium onion, diced 1 carrot, diced 3 cloves garlic, diced 1/2 inch grated ginger 1 medium Russet potato, cubed 1 apple, cored and cubed 2 tsp salt 4 sage leaves 2 bay leaves 1 cup Apple Lime Jasmine Boochcraft 2 cups vegetable broth Roast butternut squash with olive oil, salt and pepper for about 45 minutes at 375oF. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Toast butternut squash seeds for garnish To a pot add 2 Tbs olive oil and onion and sauté over medium heat until onions become translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, carrot, grated ginger root and salt and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring to make sure it does not burn but it should begin to brown. Once the vegetables have begun to brown add potatoes, apples, sage, bay leaves and Boochcraft (drink the rest of the bottle). Stir to remove brown bits from the bottom of the pan and then add the vegetable stock and cook for about 20 minutes at a simmer uncovered. Once the butternut squash has cooled from the oven add to the soup (make sure to not add the skin of the squash, it's tough). Then remove the bay leaves and either use an immersion blender to blend everything or use a regular blender (make sure to allow to cool so you do not get burnt). Blend until smooth. The soup is ready to go! This can be made in advance and if made earlier just put back into a pot to heat through before serving. Serve topped with roasted squash seeds, pomegranate seeds, drizzled with olive oil and crispy fried sage.
