Whole oats sprouted and cooked with warm spices, fruit and nuts.
When I first bought the cranberries they were a bit crunchy, I put them in a glass container in the refrigerator and when I went to use them they were soft like grapes and perfect for this recipe. You could also dehydrate them slightly to achieve the same effect.
You can also soak the raisins overnight if you want them to be soft and plump.
