Preparation

Put the sugar, butter and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Let the resulting syrup boil for another 2-3 minutes, then stir in the jam and remove the pot from the cooker.

Chop the nuts and dried fruit and add to the mixture, finally stir in the oat flakes.

Line a baking dish or loaf tin with baking paper, pour in the mixture, press the mixture neatly with a second piece of baking paper and remove again. Bake in the oven at 150°C for about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven, turn out and cut the still warm mixture into bars with a knife, press the cut edges again a little. Leave to cool.

The bars can then be stored for about 14 days in a closed tin in a cool place.
