Ingredients

Quick cranberry compote

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to about 120°C.
  • Spread the muesli base mix out on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle over the clementine zest and use your fingers to distribute it throughout the muesli. Place the tray into the warmed oven for 5 minutes or so, turning halfway through, until the zest has dried out.
    500 g muesli base*, 2 clementines
  • Mix with the remaining ingredients and leave to cool. Store in a large jar or container.
    50 g pecans, 50 g pistachios, 50 g dried cranberries, 50 g dried cherries, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, ½ teaspoon vanilla powder

For the cranberry compote

  • Place all ingredients into a small saucepan and place over a medium heat. Simmer until the cranberries have burst and the compote has reduced and thickened a little. This should take around 5-10 minutes.
    100 g fresh cranberries, 50 g light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, pinch of cinnamon, 2 tablespoons clementine juice

Notes

*The muesli base mix that I use contains oats, wheat, barley, brown rice and spelt flakes and flaxseed. You could simply use oats as a base or get creative mixing up your own. Health food shops tend to sell the above either by themselves or in a variety of mixes.
