Ingredients
4 cups rolled oats
4 1⁄2 cups Sultana Bran
2 cups Rice Bubbles
600 g (11⁄4 lb) assorted nuts, coarsely chopped
200 g (7 oz) flaked almonds
1 cup dried apricots, figs and dates, chopped
1⁄3 cup oil
2 cups honey
1⁄3 cup brown sugar
1⁄2 cup orange juice
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
Combine the cereals, nuts and dried fruits. Heat the oil, honey and sugar, and add to the cereal mixture. Add orange juice and mix until well coated.
Line two or three baking trays with baking paper. Spoon the mixture onto the trays (do not pile mixture onto one tray, as it will not roast evenly). Bake for 40–60 minutes, until golden. Toss every 20 minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and cool. Store in an airtight container.

Hot Tips
Cooking pasta
When cooking pasta the golden rule is to have the water rolling and boiling. This prevents the pasta sticking together. Also add plenty of salt to the cooking water. Drop in pasta, stir once then cook for 7 minutes (for fresh pasta) or according to packet instructions for dried pasta.
