Flapjack will use Oats, dried fruit and nuts.



Christmas Cake is a good one, nuts in the cake, make the apricots into Jam to stick the marzipan on with (use the ground almonds to make that).



Porridge with nuts and apricots?
Reply:Roman Mixed Nut Dessert



225g (8oz) Nuts coarsely ground

110g (4oz) Pine Nuts, coarsely ground

60ml (2 floz) Passum

60ml (2 floz) Milk

2 Eggs, beaten

3-4 tbsp Honey

1 tsp Rue, finely chopped

Pinch of Pepper



Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly.

Place into a saucepan.

Bring to the boil and cook gently for 15-20 minutes until slightly thickened.

Reply:you can mix grind the oatmeal to a powder and use it in place of flour to make some pancakes. Throw in some of those walnuts and maybe some chopped apples. Another swing on the pancake recipe is to use juice instead of water.

If those are dried apricots, you can make a plain biscotti dough and then add your chopped apricots and maybe some smashed brazil nuts. If the apricots are fresh, make some jam.

you can also make some fudge or brownies and add the nuts into them and top them off with the ground almonds.

Orange almond syrup cake

Lime almond crescents

All greek sweets(baklawa)

mixed nut filled cigars dipped in syrup

Almond,lemon poppy seed cakes

Anzac biscuits

You can substitute 1/2 the flour%26amp;replace with equivelent ground almonds to almost any recipie for a moister cake.

Alot of ethnic dishes use these things try recipies from india,middle east ect.

Try adding nuts to rice salads(pistachio%26amp;cranberry)%26amp;couscouc dishes,also some great italian desserts.

Have fun with it...

PS:all FIJI- indian sweets use nuts,eg;halwa
Reply:I guess any kinds of nuts is really good to mix for cakes and biscuits, it is all in the matter of techniques and styles in making them yummy or yummier............just do the hotch-potch combination, I tell you they come out alright..come on they are all eatables, dont fear to experiment.I am really good at that........exprerimenting~~~believe me and try it~~~
