Date and Cranberries Bars

• 1 cup Pitted Dates
• 1 cup Dried Cranberries
• 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
• 3 Tablespoons Butter
• 1/2 cups Honey
• 2 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Orange Blossom Water (optional)
• 3 cups Large Oats
• 1/4 cups Spelt Flour

1. In a saucepan, cook dates, cranberries, sugar, butter and honey (cover with enough water) until you get fruits re-hydrated and the mixture syrupy.
2. Add the orange blossom water.
3. In a bowl, mix oats, flours (I didnt, but you could add a bit of salt to sharpen the taste)
4. Add the fruit compote to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. I cooked it in a glass container covered with a teflon sheet at 350 F for 30 minutes.
6. When cooked, reverse the dish onto a board, wait 10 minutes and cut in pieces.
7. Why the orange blossom water??
8. Thats the taste i love in good Baklava.
