Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 What is that name of the delicious bar? It sure sounds good. Judy - Marilyn Daub Tuesday, January 20, 2009 6:31 AM Re: Re: At commodities today.... I took a cup of the nut and fruit mix (almonds, raisins, cranberries, figs, etc.) and combined it with a cup of water and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. I boiled them until thick, about 8 minutes. I got a 9 x 9 inch glass dish greased with spray olive oil and preheated the oven to 350. I then took 1 cup of whole wheat flour, a cup of oatmeal, 1/2 cup of butter, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. I combined this until it looked like crumbs by using a pastry blender. I saved back a cup of this mixture and put the rest of the mixture into the dish. I pressed it into the dish, making sure of pressing some into the corners. I covered this with the fruit mixture. Then I covered this with the remaining cup of the crumb mixture. Bake for 30 minutes. Make sure the fruit and nut mixture cools at least 30 minutes before using it. It will thicken up some. M On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 2:14 AM, wwjd <jtwigg wrote: > Please share the recipe with us.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 That sound like a good name for them. I filed them in the dessert recipe files in the sub folder, " cookies and bars " . I'll have to try making them soon. Judy - Marilyn Daub Tuesday, January 20, 2009 2:31 PM Re: Marilyns Bar's Mixed Fruit and Nut Bars?? Will that do?? You could also make them with Dates and Raisins.
