Ruby Body Scrub Recipe

Use this hohm made Ruby Body Scrub cleanser during your cleanse INSTEAD of soap. You will not believe how these living enzymes will make your skin glow with health.

Ingredients

* ¾ Cup fresh Cranberries
* 1½ Cup Organic Raw Brown Sugar
* about ¼ Cup Apricot Kernel Oil
* 3 drops Vanilla Essential Oil (use vanilla extract if you cannot find this)
* 2-3 drops Rose Absolute Essential Oil ( optional)

Directions

1. Blend Cranberries in blender with ¼ C oil, until completely pureed.
2. In a bowl, put all of the sugar, mixing by hand, Carefully alternate adding cranberry and oil puree until desired thickness is achieved. Stir in rose and vanilla oils last.
3. Put in a beautiful jar and enjoy it within a month.

Cranberry has a unique property of self preserving, so it will stay totally fresh in a jar for several weeks.

TIP: so you won’t have big red chunks of cranberries to clean up out of your shower, be sure to blend it very smooth and liquid, then add this puree and the oil TO the sugar, a bit at a time until you get a nice paste-like consistency.
