Hints for Making Good Fudge
Fudge is made of sugar syrups and requires the use of a candy thermometer. Before making the candy, check your candy thermometer for accuracy by placing it in water and bringing the water to a boil. The thermometer should register 212 degrees F (100 degrees C). If the reading is higher or lower, take the difference into account when testing the temperature of a syrup.
To prevent sugary fudge, use a heavy saucepan with straight sides. Stir while mixture heats so candy will not stick and burn. For creamy fudge, remove sugar crystals from pan above the boiling level. To do this, wipe sides of pan with wet pastry brush OR use part of butter in the recipe to grease pan OR when candy boils, cover pan for 1 minute to allow steam to wash down the crystals.

Fruit Juice Information
Fruit and vegetable juices are the cleansers, energizers, builders, and regenerators of the human system. A combination of either fresh, raw fruit or vegetable juices will supply all the enzymes, vitamins, minerals, protein and fats critical to increased vitality! By adding live juices to one's diet as a daily routine, many have experienced a rejuvenating effect and healing of various illnesses such as cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, alcoholism and smoking.

Crock Pot Cooking Tips
The main advantage of slow cooking is to set and forget it. You do not need to tend the pot. By all means do not hesitate to leave your home while your crockpot is on. DO make sure it is not touching the walls or other appliances. Stirring is not required for the great majority of crock- pot recipes. Occasionally I encounter one that requires basting, but that is most infrequently. KEEP IT COVERED LEAVE THE LID ON. I cannot stress this point enough. Every time the crockpot is uncovered, 1/2 cooking time is lost. NEVER remove the lid during the first two hours when baking breads or cakes. Most pots have a glass lid, so you can see pretty much what's going on inside. If for some reason you must open the pot, make sure you do all your additions then to minimize overall heat loss.
