Method

 
Heat the oven to 160°C. Gently heat the sugar, golden syrup and butter in a pan until melted.

Stir the oats, raisins, walnuts and seeds into the pan until coated in the butter. Spoon half the oaty mix into a baking tin (approx. 23 x 23cm).

Scatter the plums and nectarines over the top, and then top with the remaining oat mix.

Pack the mix down well and smooth with the back of a metal spoon.

Bake for 35 minutes or until dark golden. Leave to cool completely before cutting into 16 bars with a sharp knife.

Tip of the day

 
Fresh fish
To test the freshness of fish, make sure the eyes are bulging and the gills are reddish. Also see that the scales are adhering firmly to the skin and that the flesh when pressed is firm to the touch. The fish should have no offensive odor, especially around the gills and belly.
