t h e m a y f i l e s is foremost a family blog, chronicling everyday life. Life including natural, healthy eating (with recipes thrown in at random), home educating (with ideas popping up sporadically), an attempt to homestead on .2 acres (with very meager yields), raising 3 of 4 children with a rare genetic disorder, and lots of highly personal family triumphs and failures. You may also find an eclectic array of musings on politics, exercise, sewing, emergency preparedness, backyard chickens, and religion. This blog isn't a campaign to glorify anyone or anything. Just simply a record.

Holiday Cranberries with Agave

This is a fantastic recipe adapted from my mother-in-law's recipe for cranberry sauce. Emmett ate an entire bowl tonight.

Fresh Agave Cranberry Sauce

3 lbs fresh cranberries (that is a gigantic costco bag)
2 cups agave nectar
2 cups water
1 small package of frozen mixed berries
Juice of 3 fresh oranges
Add rind of one orange to cook
1/2 t of ginger

Mix all of the above in a large pot. Bring to boiling. Boil until the cranberries "pop." (I love that noise, it reminds me of helping my mom on holidays when I was a little girl.) Cook a little longer. Let set in the fridge overnight. If you want a firmer texture add some ultra gel. This recipe makes a huge bowl, but it will disappear fast!
