      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    I made this today and was very happy with result. Added whatever dried fruit I had available such as cranberries, apricots, dates, sultanas, currants and also used sunflower kernels in place of the walnuts. Easy recipe and will certainly make again.

    Made this today. Very easy and looks exactly like the picture. Tastes great and is perfect for morning tea. The  fruit added the sweetness. I used coconut oil.
