Title: Date and Sultana Crunch
Post by: cookie1 on September 23, 2009, 10:30:37 am

Date and Sultana Crunch

Ingredients
125g dates
60g sultanas
rind and juice of 2 oranges
200g rolled oats
45g flour
185g butter
1/3 cup sugar

Method
Check the dates for seeds and place in bowl. Speed 5 for 2 seconds.
Add the sultanas.
Make up the orange juice to 1 cup of liquid with water and add to the bowl.
Cook 5 minutes at 60^o on  ^^.
Then liquify this by using Speed 5 for 10 seconds. It doesn't need to be smooth.
Remove this and cool.

Place rolled oats and flour  into  *:.
Mix  :-: and ^^ for 10 seconds.
Add the butter. Speed 3 for 20 seconds.
The mixture should come together.
Add the sugar and rind. Speed 3 for 10 seconds.

Press half the mixture into a slice tray that has been greased.
Spread with fruit filling.
Sprinkle rest of oat mixture onto the fruit and press down.
Bake in a 190 degreeC oven for about 35 minutes.

This can be served warm as a dessert with custard or as a slice with coffee.

The next time I make it I will place all the oat mixture as a base and sprinkle almond pieces over the fruit mixture.

This was loosely based on a Margaret Fulton recipe.

Oh yum Cookie - this sounds divine. Pity I would probably be the only one that would eat it. *sigh* there goes the hips again  :-))

Thanks Cookie, this sounds great.  Roughly what size tin did you use?  :)

A normal slice tray. I know it's 7 inch by 11 inch.  Have just checked a ruler it's about 18 or 19cm by 28cm.

You're lucky having a figure.  ACtually I do too come to think of it - -figure 0. That's the only downfall of the TMX, but what the heck, a few more laps around the lake.  As one of our radio guys says " a controlled stagger."

DD made this yesterday and added some chopped up almonds - tasted very wholesome and I am sure is not too bad for the figure...
