Swiss-Style Cereal (Muesli) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup whole filberts
1 cup whole blanched almond
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
3/4 cup sweetened wheat germ
1 cup dried currant
2/3 cup finely chopped dried apricot
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
milk (optional) or cream (optional)
fresh fruit (such as sliced bananas or strawberries or canned mandarin oranges) (optional)

Preparation

Spread the filberts on a rimmed baking sheet, and the almonds on another; bake in a 350\u00b0 oven for 5-8 minutes, or until very lightly browned; shake pans occasionally.
Let nuts cool; rub filberts in your hands to loosen as much of the brown exterior as possible, then blow or fan off the chaff, chop filberts and almonds coarsely (chop in a hand chopper, rather than a food processor, which may turn the nuts into butter!)
Blend nuts with oats, wheat germ, currants, apricots, and sugar.
Store in a tightly closed container at room temperature.
Serve in bowls with milk or cream; top with fruit if you like or pack it up to take camping or back-packing!
