Ingredients: 3 medium-sized peaches, peeled and sliced 3 medium bananas, peeled and sliced 1 pint blackberries, washed and drained. 1/4 to 1/2 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed or reconstituted) 1/2 cup Splenda (or sugar) Slice 3 peaches and 3 bananas into two separate bowls. Immediately cover each bowl of fruit with up to 1/4 cup of lemon juice to hold the color and freshness. Wash and drain 1 pint of blackberries into a separate bowl.

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a zesty Lemonade Syrup Splash. It is a concentrate that you can refrigerate or freeze and have instant, refreshing lemonade anytime! Ingredients: 1 cup fresh lemon juice (In a pinch, you may use reconstituted lemon juice from a bottle.) 2 cups sugar (You may use artificial sweetener, if you choose. I used Splenda.) 1 cup water Combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool. (You may cool this syrup at room temperature for a bit, and then you may refrigerate it to make it cool faster.) Add 1 cup lemon juice. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. (I use a *clean* mayonnaise jar with a lid, and shake the mixture every time I use it.) When ready to serve, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the lemonade syrup to 1 tall glass of ice water. During the summertime this is great to keep in your refrigerator. You can have a tall, refreshing glass instantly, or you can use more of the syrup for a pitcher of lemonade for lunch or dinner! This should be one of your savers!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a great side dish for lunch or dinner—Bettys Orange Glazed Beets. The beets are glazed with a paste made of brown sugar, butter, flour, and orange juice. The combination of sweet and tart with the beets is fantastic! Beets are a natural source of beta carotene, a component that promotes good health and prevents disease. Ingredients: 16 oz. can sliced beets 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons brown sugar ½ cup orange juice Heat 16 oz. beets in their own liquid. In a small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and ½ cup orange juice. Return to heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Drain heated beets. Add sauce to beets, and stir gently to coat. Pour into a nice serving dish. These beets are an excellent accompaniment to almost any meat entree. Happy beet-eating!

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make healthy and delicious broiled breaded catfish. In this recipe the breading holds the moisture in, so that the cooked catfish is light and flaky—delightful! Ingredients: ½ stick butter or margarine, melted (I used margarine.) 2 tablespoons lemon juice ( I used reconstituted lemon juice from a jar.) 4 or 5 fresh catfish fillets (1 ½ pounds) 1 cup Italian-seasoned dry breadcrumbs Lemon wedges for garnish In a small, shallow bowl, combine ½ stick melted butter or margarine and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. In a second small, shallow bowl, place 1 cup of Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each piece of fish in the breadcrumbs, then dip in the butter mixture, and dredge again in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded fish fillets on the rack of a broiler pan. (I cover mine with aluminum foil for easy clean-up; you can spray with cooking oil spray instead.) Broil the fish about 5 or 6 inches away from heat, with the oven door partially open, for about 10 minutes, or when fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Watch the broiling process carefully, as the breading can get too dark. If the breading darkens before the fish flakes, you may want to use a spatula and carefully turn each fillet over to brown the other side while the fish cooks completely. This fish will be very tender, so you will need to carefully transfer it to a serving platter when done. Garnish with lemon wedges, which may be squeezed over the top of the catfish before …

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Classic Waldorf Salad. This salad was originally created in 1893 at the Waldorf Hotel (later to become the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel).
