The rolled oats and honey in granola will help sweeten the grapefruit and add a delicious crunch - and the recipe couldn't be more simple

Florida Grapefruit Granola

Serves 6

You will need:

• 250g jumbo oats
• 200ml runny honey
• 4 tbsp sunflower oil
• 250g unsalted mixed nuts
• 100g dried cranberries or sour cherries
• 2 Florida grapefruits

Method:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 160/gas 3. 

Step 2: Place the oats into a large bowl.  Heat the honey and sunflower oil together until mixed and pour the mixture over the oats. 

Step 3: Stir well until all the oats are coated and then scatter them in an even layer over a large non-stick baking sheet.  Bake for 40 minutes. 

Step 4: Remove the tray from the oven and stir in the nuts.  Bake for a further 10 minutes or so, until the mixture is golden.  Leave to cool and then stir in the cranberries or sour cherries.

Step 5: Peel the grapefruits and carefully remove the segments with a sharp knife.  Toss half the segments gently through the granola. 

Step 6: Serve in bowls, with the remaining grapefruits segments on top.
