                          Homemade Granola

This recipe is very adjustable so change things to your tastes.

7 cups rolled oats-10 minute oats, makes it chewier
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup chopped nuts-mixed or any one kind-unsalted
1/3 cup sesame seeds or sunflower seeds-unsalted
1 cup coconut
optional - 1 1/2 tsp salt
           1/2 tsp vanilla

Mix these together in a large roasting pan.
In a large saucepan, bring to a boil


3/4 cup of oil
1 1/2 cups honey-or 1 cup honey and 1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 to 1/3 cup of water

Pour hot mix over dry mix as soon as it stops boiling.  Stir well.  Bake in

oven at 275'F for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes so that it browns evenly.

While cooking the grain-nut mix, soak

1 1/2 cup raisins or currants

When grain-nut mix comes out of the oven, drain fruit and stir in. (if added

before baking the fruit turns to small bits of concrete)  Stir well to avoid

lumps as it cools.  Store in covered container at room temerature for 6 weeks.
