Fleischmann's Healthy Vinegar Drink

Step 1 - Check with your doctor before starting any type of new regiment in your diet.  We recommend Organic raw, unfiltered, and unpasteurized Apple Cider vinegar.

Step 2 - Add 2 Tablespoons of Fleischmann's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to an 8oz. glass of water and sip on it.  The simplest of all the drink versions, you will sip this water slowly three times a day, preferably before meals.  The idea is to normalize an acidic stomach reducing your cravings for food while raising a sluggish metabolism.

Step 3 - To flavor your Energy Vinegar Drink and boost your energy level by adding 2 teaspoons of honey to your glass of water and vinegar.  This can also assist you with an upset stomach.

Step 4 - Squeeze a little lemon juice in your vinegar drink along with the honey for a change of pace.  Lemon is believed to have diuretic properties.  For additional spice add a little ginger.

Step 5 - Remember you can also substitute natural maple syrup for honey for a taste variation.

Maple Roast Turkey and Gravy

Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 4 Hours

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups Fleischmann's Classic Organics Apple Cider Vinegar 
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup 
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh marjoram
  • 2 1/2 tsp grated lemon zest  
  • 3/4 cup butter  
  • Salt & ground Black Pepper to taste
  • 14 pound whole turkey, neck & giblets reserved
  • 2 cups chopped onion
  • 2 cups chopped celery  
  • 1 cup coarsely chopped carrots
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 Tbsp apple brandy (optional) 

Preparation:

1.  Boil Fleischmann's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar and maple syrup in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 20 minutes). Remove from heat and mix in 1/2 of the thyme and marjoram and all of the lemon zest. Add the butter, and whisk until melted. Add salt and ground pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until cold (syrup can be made up to 2 days ahead).
2.  Preheat oven to 375°F. Place oven rack in the lowest third of oven.
3.  Wash and dry turkey, and place in a large roasting pan. Slide hand under skin of the breast to loosen. Rub 1/2 cup of the maple butter mix under the breast skin. If planning on stuffing turkey, do so now. Rub 1/4 cup of the maple butter mixture over the outside of the turkey. With kitchen string, tie legs of turkey together loosely.
4.  Arrange the chopped onion, chopped celery, and chopped carrot around the turkey in the roasting pan. If desired, the neck and giblets may be added to the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining thyme and marjoram over the vegetables, and pour the chicken stock into the pan.
5.  Roast turkey for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F, and cover turkey loosely with foil. Continue to roast, about 3 to 4 hours unstuffed or 4 to 5 hours stuffed, until the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 180°F and stuffing reaches 165°F. Transfer turkey to a platter, and cover with foil. Reserve pan mixture for gravy. Allow turkey to sit about 25 minutes before removing stuffing and carving.
6.  To Make Gravy: Strain pan juices into a measuring cup. Spoon fat from juices. Add enough chicken stock to make 3 cups. Transfer liquid to a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. In a small bowl, mix reserved maple butter mixture with flour to form a paste, and whisk into the broth. Stir in thyme, bay leaf, and apple brandy. Boil until reduced and slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
