   Hi Ruth,

   Interesting!   
      
   Once i visited someone who lived adjacent to an old homestead.  There was a   
   century or older fig tree growing in a gully.  The branches grew up, out, and   
   back down to the ground, then up and out again in all directions.  Each branch   
   was the size of a fig tree.  It was enormous and it created its own ecosystem   
   within the fig thicket.   
      
   RH> Sounds interesting; I'd go for the chocolate but I have a strong dislike

   RH> behind it but I'll save that for another time.)   
      
   I guess the fat has been removed from this PB powder, but it taste just like   
   peanut butter.  So i doubt you'd like it.

     Preparation time: 30 minutes   
     Cooking time: 1 hours   
        
     Jack Monroe's flapjack recipe is extremely versatile. You can use   
     whatever seeds and dried fruit you have. They can also be made vegan   
     by using oil rather than butter.   
        
     Preheat the oven to 210?C / 190?C Fan/Gas 6-1/2. Lightly grease a   
     deep 20 cm / 8" square cake tin.   
        
     If using butter or margarine, melt it in a pan. Add the syrup to the   
     melted butter or oil. Mix in all the remaining ingredients.   
        
     Spoon into the baking tin and flatten with a spoon or spatula.   
        
     Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden   
     and starting to firm at the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to   
     cool.   
        
     Cut into 10 pieces.
