Vegetarian Pemmican Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried dates, pitted
1/2 cup dried fig, stems removed
1/2 cup whole almond
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup wheat bran
1 tablespoon flax seed, ground
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 cup honey

Preparation

Chop all the fruit, nuts and ground flax seed, and mix together. Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the fruit and nut mixture, a little at a time, alternately with honey. Add just enough water(about 1/2 cup) to moisten. Press into a buttered 8\" loaf pan.
Bake in a 375*F. oven for 30 minutes. Cool in pan on wire rack. When it's cooled, remove from pan, slice into bars.
Bars can be transferred to a freezer container or bag and frozen for up to 3 months. To remove bars easily from the pan, line pan with foil and grease foil with butter. Enjoy!
