Post by: cookie1 on October 07, 2011, 06:43:41 am

Crunchy Fruit Slice
Makes 24 pieces.
Ingredients
380g mixed dried fruit
110g nuts-I used almonds
100g glace cherries-I used cranberries
75g dried apricots
50g plain flour
115g golden syrup
1 egg
180g unsalted butter, in small pieces.

Method
Preheat oven to 180^{0.
Line a 26cm x 16cm tin.}
Place apricots into bowl and chop. Set aside.
Chop almonds to the size you want.Set aside.
Place dried fruit, almonds,cherried, apricots and flour into a large bowl.
Heat butter and golden syrup in TMX bowl until melted and combined. Time will depend on how cold your butter is. Mine took 4 minutes, speed 2. Cool slightly and add egg. Give it a quick blend. Add butter etc to the large bowl and mix thoroughly. I did it by hand as it was easy.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Cool in pan and slice when cool.

The nuts could be left out for school.
I adapted the recipe from the latest Australian Good Food.

OMG how could I be so careless. It is 180g unsalted butter, chopped. Will amend the recipe. So very sorry.
