Makes: 12
Ingredients
Air and heat can cause dried fruit to dry and harden, so keep unopened packs in cool, dry places at temperatures below 70 F. Open fruit should be kept in airtight containers like glass jars. It can also be stored in the freezer for long periods and will thaw quickly at room temperature.
- 100g (4oz) set honey
- 30ml (2tbsp) golden syrup
- 100g (4oz) butter or margarine, softened
- 50g (2oz) raisins
- 25g (1oz) glacé cherries, chopped
- 150g (6oz) rolled oats
Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Melt the honey and syrup with the butter or margarine. Stir in the raisins, cherries and then add the oats. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
- Grease a tin measuring about 18cm (7in) square and press the mixture into it.
- Bake for 30 mins. Cool slightly, then cut it into fingers or squares. Remove from tin when completely cool.

30 mins at 180 left me with slightly burned flapjack, might just be my oven but would recommend having a peep at 20 mins just in case they are already done.
