Marmalade granola
I decided to experiment yesterday by making granola with marmalade instead of honey. It worked pretty well - though the end result wasn't quite as orangey as I had been hoping! Probably because I could only get hold of crappy marmalade. Next time I will try to use something of better quality. I'm also wondering whether it might be nice made with seedless raspberry jam.
Ingredients
400g rolled oats100g sunflower seeds100g pumpkin seeds100g hazelnuts100g almonds250g raisins
Syrup250g shredless marmalade60ml sunflower oil45ml waterPinch of salt
Method
Roughly chop the hazelnuts and almonds and mix in a large bowl with the oats and the seeds. Place all of the syrup ingredients in a pan and heat gently until the marmalade has melted, stirring regularly. Pour the syrup over the oat mix and then stir until the syrup is evenly incorporated. Line two large baking trays with baking parchment and spread the oats in an even layer over both trays. Bake at 140C for around an hour, stirring the granola mix two or three times during the process to make sure it bakes evenly and to break up any lumps that develop. The granola is ready when it starts to go slightly golden. It will still be a bit soft when you take it out of the over but will harden as it cools. Once you have removed it from the oven, mix the sultanas into the granola and then allow it to completely cool. Store in a large airtight container.
