This month is the penultimate month for the challenge and you can read more about it on Bangers & Mash here. The 3 ingredients for this month are berries, oats and honey and I came up with some Honey & Oatmeal cookies accompanied by some Summer Berry Jam. The cookies & jam were great, I just need to practice my blackboard writing skills - I would never make a good teacher, although it's all laptops & white boards these days so I could still stand a chance...
Chewy Honey & Oatmeal Cookies - makes approx 24
115g Flora Buttery
230g Caster Sugar
Vanilla pod
35g Honey
1 Egg
115g Wholegrain oats
125g Self Raising Flour

100g Caster Sugar
- Beat the Flora, sugar & seeds from the vanilla pod together (keep the vanilla pod for later)

- Stir in the oats and flour until well combined
- Spoon a heaped teaspoonful onto a greased baking tray, repeat with the rest of the dough (spaced well apart)
- Bake in a 170 C oven for approx 10-12 minutes until golden brown
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
- Add the summer fruit, sugar & vanilla pod to a saucepan
- Bring slowly to the boil, stirring regularly
- Simmer for approx 5-8 minutes stirring regularly, until the jam coats the back of a spoon
- Pour into a sterilised jar and allow to cool
