Caregivers Tend to Sports Injuries in Glendora Residents

Contrary to popular belief, athletes are not invincible. When people think of an athlete, they usually think of strong and fit individuals who can carry themselves without the help of another, But the truths is that athletes are still at risk of sustaining injuries from engaging in sports. In fact, these injuries can be so bad they they can actually leave athletes unable to walk.

For this reason, A-1 Home Care caters to people from all places, of all sorts, and of all situations. Along with providing Senior Care and Special Needs Care, we offer in home and live in caregivers who are specially trained to provide help for those who have sustained sports injuries. They can help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and are able to ensure quality 24 Hour and Overnight Care.

Cranberry Sauce, by Alton Brown

1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup 100% cranberry juice
1 cup honey
1 lb fresh cranberries

Wash the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones. 

Combine the orange juice, cranberry juice and honey in a 2-quartsaucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cranberries and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens. Do not cook for more than 15 minutes as the pectin will start to break down and the sauce will not set as well. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes. 

Carefully spoon the cranberry sauce into a 3 cup mold. Place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours and up to overnight. 

Remove from the refrigerator, overturn the mold and slide out the sauce. Slice and serve.
