Ingredients
75g unsalted butter
75g caster sugar
2 tbsp clear honey (or golden syrup)
75g plain flour
75g dried cranberries
50g glace cherries, quartered
50g mixed dried peel
50g flaked almonds
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160 Fan/Gas 4. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
2
Put the butter, syrup, sugar and honey or syrup in a pan. Heat gently, stirring, until the butter has melted and all the sugar has dissolved.
3
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the flour, cranberries, cherries, mixed peel and almonds.
4
Put heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture on the baking tray, leaving plenty of space between each one to allow the Florentines to spread during cooking. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden. Leave for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
