Recipe

Step 1: Heat the oven to 340°F, and butter an 8″ square baking pan.

Step 2: Put the cranberries into a bowl and cover with boiling water for a few minutes ?to rehydrate them. Drain away the water and coarsely chop any that are particularly large.

Step 3: Melt together the syrup, butter and sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat ?until the sugar has dissolved, then stir in the oats. Add all but a small handful of the cranberries and stir thoroughly.

Step 4: Transfer the oat mixture into the pan and smooth it down with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining cranberries on top. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until golden. Mark into squares while still warm, and remove from the pan once cool.
