Valentine's Day History
Saint Valentine
It started in ancient Rome when a kind physician named Valentine took an interest in a young blind girl. With his healing skill and his deep faith he restored her sight. What we now call Valentine's Day began when he sent the little girl a secret message, which she received after the Christian martyr was executed. For this tale rich in sentiment, master illustrator Robert Sabuda has created paper mosaics to suggest early Christian art.

Not much is known about the true origins of Valentines Day or who the real St. Valentine was. The Catholic Encyclopedia indicates that the saint whose feast was celebrated on the day now known as St. Valentine's Day was possibly one of these three martyred men named Valentinus who lived in the late third century, during the reign of Emperor Claudius II (who died in 270)

Valentine's Day Recipes & Treats
Are you looking for some great recipes for Valentine's Day? I will be adding several recipes for yummy Valentine's Day treats here!Valentine's Day Applesauce for Kids
Red Hot Hearts have been a popular candy treat since the early 1930's. Not only are the little red cinnamon hearts tasty as Valentine's Day candy, but they make a sweet addition to home-made applesauce for kids. I used this recipe for Valentine's Day when I was a little girl.
Ingredients:
4 apples (red or green)
1/2 cup water
2 - 4 tablespoons of Red Hots candy hearts
Directions:
Wash the apples and cut them into quarters to peel and core. Carefully slice the apple quarters into thinner pieces. The thinner the pieces and the more you stir, the smoother your applesauce will be. For chunkier applesauce, use larger pieces.
Put the applies pieces into a saucepan and cover them with water. Cover the pan and cook the apples on low heat until the apples are starting to get soft and the water is almost absorbed. Before the apples are done, add 2 -3 tablespoons of red hot hearts and gently stir. For chunky applesauce, don't stir much.
When the red hots have dissolved and the apples are soft, taste to see if you want to add more. Sometimes tart green apples need more red hots and sometimes sweet red apples require less depending upon personal tastes. Adding red hearts can turn plain applesauce into a dessert.
You can serve the Valentine's Day applesauce hot or cold. Serves 4
