Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate

2 cups dried apples or apricots

1 1/4 cups flax seed

2 1/2 tablespoons peanut butter

1 cup whole soy nuts

3 tablespoons chopped soy nuts

 

Place the apple juice concentrate and dried fruit in a saucepan. Cover and cook

over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, until softened.

 

While the fruit cooks, grind the flaxseed in an electric coffee grinder 1/3 cup

at a time. Pour the ground seeds into a food processor with the S blade

inserted. Add the softened dried fruit and the peanut butter. Process until

the mixture is doughlike. If the mixture rises above the processor blades, shut

off the machine and push the mixture down with a spatula. Then, turn the

machine back on. When the dough is fully mixed, it will form a ball in the well

of the food processor. Turn the dough into a bowl. Mix in the whole soy nuts.

 

Sprinkle half of the chopped soy nuts over the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch nonstick

pan. Press the dough into the pan. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Cut into 8

bars. Remove from the pan. Place in a storage container or in plastic sandwich

bags. Refrigerate.
