Beth’s Raisin Coconut Granola

 6 cups old-fashioned rolled oatsI do not recommend steel cut oats for this recipe as they cook with different moisture amounts and longer durations.
 4 cups sliced almonds
 2 cups sweetened flaked coconut
 ½ tsp salt
 ¾ cup vegetable oil
 ¾ cup honey (use local if you can)
 3 cups dried cranberries and golden raisinsI found you can also use other dried berries that you have on hand. I happened to have in my pantry dried cranberries, dried blueberries and dried cherries.
1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Set rack in middle position in oven. In a large bowl, combine oats, almonds, coconut and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the oil and honey. Pour the oil/honey over the oats mixture and combine well. I found that using my hands for this step worked very well. Line a large sheet pan with foil and grease it well. Pour the granola mixture over the pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown stirring occasionally (I recommend using a spatula). Pour the baked mixture into a large bowl and allow to cool. Add the cranberries and raisins and mix completely. Store in sealed plastic containers or sealable plastic bags in either the refrigerator or in a cool dry space. Because the number of servings will vary by person and appetite, this makes 10 – 15 servings.
