  The first time ever in my life my flapjacks have stayed together! substituted the apricots and pears for mixed berries, including sour cherries and this was lovely.

  I made this in large quantity for a Morris team dancing on May Day and it disappeared immediately with requests for more. For a change I used "Crazy Jack's Organic Golden Syrup" which had a particularly good flavour. I also used dried sour (morello) cherries, blueberries and apricots. Delicious! Highly recommended recipe.

  I made these for my daughter who is not allowed to take food with nut products in them to her place of work. They were so good I don't think she managed to get many! Will try other fruits next time.
