“Something Different”
Sweet Holiday Strategies
BY DANA JACOBI FOR THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE FOR CANCER RESEARCH
During the holidays, including the weeks of special parties leading up to them, surrendering to the season’s sweet temptations can actually produce less guilt, and add less to your waistline, if you take an active role in producing those temptations. Here are some strategies that will create great pleasure and minimize the regret.
Take dessert along wherever you go. Make it a surprise if you are not asked to contribute something to the menu. Make cookies and other baked desserts, but substitute an ingredient low in fat for a high-fat ingredient. Evaporated skim milk, for example, can be used in place of cream, and “lite” olive oil can replace butter in many recipes. You can also reduce at least slightly the sugar called for. Decorate the tops of cakes with a light dusting of confectioners sugar rather than those high-fat, super-sweet icings. If ice cream will be served, make fresh fruit compote. It’s as simple as dicing up apples, for example, that are cored but with their peel on, and cooking them slowly (tightly covered) with apple juice concentrate, grated citrus zest and a vanilla bean until tender and slightly caramelized. The whole bean adds a mellow sweetness extract does not. It lets you also add little or no other sweetening, depending on your taste. (One bean costs a small fortune, but I reuse mine at least 10 times in fruit desserts. Or you can substitute a cinnamon stick.)
For a sophisticated but healthful treat, try these whole-wheat biscotti with almonds and fruit.
