CHEWY FRUIT AND NUT GRANOLA

A good trail mix. I got this recipe from Sunset magazine.





List of Ingredients



• 1 cup regular or quick cooking rolled oats
  
• 3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
  
• 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  
• 1/4 cup chopped dried apricots
  
• 1/4 cup chopped prunes, or dates
  
• 1 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  
• 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  
• 2 tablesponns raisins
  
• 2 tablespoons salad oil
  
• 3 tablespoons honey
  
• 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  






Instructions



1. Mix together in a large bowl the first 9 ingredients. Set aside.
   
2. In a small sauce pan combine the salad oil, honey and vanilla. Heat until bubbly. Pour over the granola mixture and stir well.
   
3. Spread mixture in a single layer on a buttered, rimmed baking sheet.
   
4. Bake 325 for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring mixture several times. Do not over cook as it will be dry. Remove from oven, and with a wide spatula lift out mixture and place on a large piece of buttered wax paper. Shape into a large rectangle, I use a rolling pin to pack down.
   
5. Let it cool, then break into large pieces. Package air tight. Makes about 3 cups.
