CRANBERRY-ORANGE SNACK MIX



Cranberry-Orange Snack Mix image

This is an excellant snack mix for the holidays. We cook up several batches of this every year, package it up, and deliver it to friends and family. It's always a great hit. When cooking more than 2 batches at once I increase the bake time to 60 minutes to compensate for the loss of heat from opening the oven door repeatedly

CRANBERRY-ORANGE SNACK MIX

I'm a sucker for cereal mixes. Except, none of them seem to have enough FLAVORING. I mean, you come across that nut that's soaked in garlic and butter and it's all "yum" and heaven, but that's maybe one in three bites. . . This recipe has flavor EVERY bite. I found it in a beautiful cookbook, Gifts from the Christmas Kitchen, put out by one of my favorite producers, Favorite Brand Name Recipes.

2 cup(s) oatmeal cereal squares
2 cup(s) corn cereal squares
2 cup(s) mini pretzels
1 cup(s) whole almonds
1/4 cup(s) butter
1/3 cup(s) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoon(s) packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon(s) ginger
1/4 teaspoon(s) nutmeg
2/3 cup(s) dried cranberries

Steps:

  • Bake 50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. THE OATMEAL SQUARES WILL SEEM LIKE THEY'RE NOT DONE, BUT THEY WILL CRISP UP AFTER THEY'RE OUT OF THE OVEN. Stir in cranberries. Let cool in pan on wire rack, leaving uncovered until mixture is crisp. Store in airtight container or resealable plastic food storage bag.
