Toasted muesli with dried pineapple and dates

I must admit that I am jar hoarder but that is simply so I can create some tasty treats that just seem to look better in a jar (plus a few jars for candle holders and flower vases etc).

The recipe below feels like more of a winter breakfast but here in the UK, although it's summer and we've been getting some amazingly warm and bright days, today it feels more like winter with the grey clouds hanging above.


Method -

Toasted museli; pop enough rolled oats per serving (half a cup) in pan without oil for a few minutes and continuously stir - either that or put in the grill or oven until slight brown.

While that's going on, soak the dried pineapple and dates in some hot water until they become soft.

In another pan, heat 4 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar with a 2 teaspoons of sugar or honey and heat until sugar is dissolved.

Layer the oats, then the dried fruit and a dab of powdered cinnamon then another layer of oats and another layer of dried fruit and more cinnamon. Pour the apple cider vinegar on top and allow it to trickle to the bottom (use a spoon to push oats away from side of jar).

Scoop a little natural yoghurt on top, some more dried pineapple and finish with some more cinnamon.
