Granola

Granola
8+ cups rolled oats
2 Tbsp cinnamon
1 cup wheat germ or crushed bran or corn flakes
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nuts, optional
1 cup sesame seeds or sunflower seeds
1 cup honey
1 cup oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups dried fruit (raisins, craisins, pineapple, dates) In a very large bowl combine oats, cinnamon, flakes, coconut, nuts and seeds. In small saucepan heat oil and honey until very runny. Take off heat and add vanilla. Pour over dry ingredients. Stir until well coated. Spread on greased cookie sheets with rims. Bake at 350 F for about 30 minutes or until honey and oil are absorbed and granola is toasty brown. Stir once or twice while baking. Cool in pans and stir once or twice while cooling. When cool, stir in dried fruit in a large bowl. Store in airtight container.
