30g / 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds
100g / half cup of vegetable fat spread
300ml / 1and a quarter cups of apple juice

Mix all the above together (except the apple juice) using your fingers, until like muesli clusters. Add the juice and mix in.

Grease a non stick oven tray and cover with the mixture, pressing well down, leaving a small margin clear around the edges. Bake at gas 4 / 350F for 30 minutes turning halfway through the cooking time. Cut into 16 pieces.

BAKED PEARS WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE
Serves 4
4 medium sized conference pears (they are ripe when the end near the stem is softish when squeezed) trim off the ends and slice down the middle, scoop out any seeds with a teaspoon
2 tablespoons of vegetable fat spread
100g / quarter lb of best quality plain chocolate
small carton of apple juice
small packet of chopped hazelnuts
small carton of natural soya yoghurt

Grease 4 small oval oven dishes and place the pears in them, cut side up. Bake at gas 7 / 425F for 20 minutes, turning the dishes and swapping shelves halfway through the cooking time.

When the pears are almost ready, melt the fat and chocolate very slowly in a pan stirring constantly. Then gradually add the apple juice stirring as you do so, until the sauce is the thickness you would like. Then continue to heat through until the sauce gently bubbles.

Immediately pour the sauce over the pears. Then sprinkle a few of the chopped nuts over each dish. Serve with the yoghurt.
