Cranberry Pinenut Hummus

I experimented today and made some excellent hummus:

Cranberry Pinenut Hummus

2 cans garbanzo beans, drained (Reserve some liquid in case you need it.)
3/8 (+-) Fresh squeezed orange juice
1/4 Cup (+-) Tahini
5 or 6 cloves of garlic (preferably roasted, but whatever)
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbls sesame oil
1 Tbls coconut oil
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup dried cranberriers (Craisens? I used cherry flavored.)

Put all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. If you need to add liquid to achieve the correct consistency, use some of the liquid saved from the cans of garbanzo beans.

Cover and put in the fridge to let the flavors blend a bit.

This was delicious!
