Ingredients
  

Through the juicer
  • 120 g soft dried apricots ready-to-eat, unsweetened
  • 120 g pitted prunes each checked for pips
  • 100 g walnuts raw, or roasted and fully cooled
Stirred in
  • 40 g rolled oats about ½ cup
  • 1 orange finely grated zest only
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • Sana 707, 727 or 929 juicer with homogenising screen
  • Mixing bowl
  • Loaf tin about 20 x 10 cm, lined with baking paper
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

Press
  1. Check every prune for pips. If the apricots are hard, chop them into small pieces.
  2. Fit the homogenising screen, with a bowl under the end of the drum and a small container under the juice outlet.
  3. Feed the walnuts, apricots and prunes through in turns so the mixture keeps moving.
Shape
  1. In a bowl, work the oats, orange zest and cinnamon into the fruit and nut mixture with a spatula or your hands.
  2. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the lined tin, about 2 cm deep.
  3. Chill for at least 1 hour, then lift out and cut into 10 bars.
  4. Keep in a sealed container in the fridge and eat within about a week.

Notes

Contains tree nuts and oats. Oats and cinnamon are stirred in by hand: dry grains and spices stay out of the juicer.
