Ingredients

2 cups California raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup slivered almonds
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor, pulsing on and off until raisins and nuts are finely chopped but not pureed (mixture should not be sticky).

Press firmly into a 10-by-4-inch rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cut into 10 bars, each 1-inch wide. Separate bars slightly to cook evenly and bake for 1 hour; let cool and wrap individually. Makes 10 bars.
