Chunky Apple Kuzu Dessert

A delicious winter warmer using Clearspring Organic Japanese Kuzu, an ancient Japanese home-remedy, as well as a popular addition to the Macrobiotic diet.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients

• 1 apple
• 1 pint apple juice
• 2 tbsp Clearspring Organic Japanese Kuzu

Method

1. Cut the apple into chunks and simmer in the apple juice for at least 20 minutes adding the cinnamon after about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat.
2. Mix the kuzu with 4 tbsp water to make a smooth paste.
