Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Necessary products. Frozen cranberries behind the scenes — in the freezer. I intended to use only dried, but it turned out to be very sweet, so I also needed fresh in the process.

Step 2

Step 2
Soak all dried fruits in hot water for 8 minutes. Then rinse well under running water in a colander, let the water drain and dry on a cotton towel. Sort the raisins, remove the stems.

Step 3

Step 3
Grind the nuts in a blender, but so that large pieces remain, or chop with a knife. Leave the seeds whole. First, rinse the nuts and seeds, dry them on a towel and dry them additionally in a dry frying pan.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour nuts and seeds into a deep bowl and mix.

Step 5

Step 5
Grind dates, lemon, fresh cranberries and 1/3 of the raisins in a meat grinder. Mix well.

Step 6

Step 6
Cut all other dried fruits into small pieces with a knife, leaving larger ones. Stir well after each addition of cuttings.

Step 7

Step 7
Thinly grease two large sheets of parchment with refined sunflower oil. Place the fruit and nut mixture on one sheet, leveling with a spoon. Cover with a second sheet of parchment and lightly roll out with a rolling pin into an even layer, about 1 cm thick. Remove the parchment and trim the edges. I got a layer of 26 x 31 cm. /Even if the parchment is of high quality, be sure to grease it. This will give the bar a gloss and it will be easily removed from the paper/.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the parchment on a baking sheet and place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes, then set the temperature to 60 degrees. Take out the baking sheet, carefully cut the layer into bars, return to the oven for 2 hours. Then carefully turn the bars over and dry them for about 2 more hours. You can leave it on the baking sheet until it dries well for another day in the room. Then remove and pack in parchment. Store in a cool place. Made 24 bars.
