6 pieces | matzah (could be part whole wheat) |
2 cups | coconut, shredded |
1 cup | sunflower seeds |
1/2 cup | shelled pumpkin seeds, optional |
1/2 cup | cashew nuts, optional |
1/3 teaspoon | cinnamon |
1/2 cup | honey |
2 tablespoons | oils |
1 cup | water |
1/2 cup | slivered almonds |
dried fruit , raisins, dates, prunes, figs, apples, etc |
Break up the matzoh sheets into pieces roughly an inch by an inch.
In a large bowl, combine matzah pieces with the rest of the dry ingredients, except the almonds & fruit. Mix well. In a small bowl, combine the honey & oil. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients. Drizzle the water over all, a little at a time, mixing it through. Preheat oven to 225°. Spread this mixture onto 2 cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil. Bake for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. Add the almonds & bake for another 15 minutes or until mixture is dry & toasty brown in color. Turn off oven & let mixture cool in the oven. You can add the fruit at this point or at serving time. Store in highly-covered containers in the refrigerator or freezer. Good with either cold or hot milk or with yogurt.
Makes 2 quarts.
