Sophie Dahl's Golden flapjacks with mango, sour cherries and coconut

This is so delicious and well worth buying the different ingredients in for. The original recipe is of course from The Delicious Miss Dahl. It is perfect to serve with afternoon tea but also makes an excellent desert when served with vanilla ice-cream - yum! 

Ingredients

2 tbsp golden syrup
4 tbsp runny honey
150g/5oz salted butter
150g/5oz porridge oats
100g/3½oz dessicated coconut
75g/2¾oz sour cherries
75g/2¾oz dried mango, chopped

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Grease a medium-sized deep baking tray. (The size of the tray will depend on the thickness of the flapjacks).
3. In a large saucepan, melt the golden syrup, honey and butter together over a low heat, stirring until well combined.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the oats, coconut, cherries and mango.

5. Pour the flapjack mixture into the prepared tray and press it down gently into the corners of the tin.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until deep golden-brown on top. (my one tip here would be to keep an eye on it when it is in the oven as cook time really does vary from oven to oven - mine for example only actually took 15mins to cook)

6. Score the flapjack into pieces whilst still hot, and allow to cool in the tin before turning out.
