Did you know Agave has a much lower glycemic index than white sugar which means it's more slowly abosorbed by your body and won't cause your insulin to spike and then drop which will lead to hunger. Just a little tidbit for ya. I've been reading a lot about the glycemic index and how it can effect us.

Printable Recipe
Ingredients
6 ounces of water (just under a cup...you don't have to be too exact)
2/3 cup organic Agave nectar
1 (12 ounce) bag of fresh cranberries
1 pinch of salt
2 Tbsp crystallized ginger, minced
2 cups fresh or frozen sliced peaches, diced
2 packets Splenda with fiber
Sprinkle of Craisins and golden raisins for garnish
Directions
1. In a medium saucepan bring the Agave nectar and water to a boil. Add the cranberries and salt, bring back to a boil then reduce heat to Medium Low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
2. Remove this mixture from heat and stir in the minced ginger. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
3. Add the peaches and Splenda, stir to combine. Cool then top with Craisins and golden raisins.
This will also freeze well if you have leftovers.

Love the recipe. I would use Agave more often but
it tends to be expensive and I have to make a spec.
trip to the health food store to get it.
Best wishes to you and yours for a very Happy Holiday.
