Recipe - Granola

2 One half cup Quickcooking oatmeal
1 cup Shredded coconut
(unsweetened, from a health
food store)
1/3 cup Untoasted sunflower seeds
One fourth cup Hulled sesame seeds
4 tablespoon Margarine
One fourth cup (packed) dark brown sugar
One fourth cup Honey
One half teaspoon Salt
(omit salt if using
salted margarine)
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
One half cup Toasted wheat germ
One half cup Raisins

Preheat the oven to 300~.

Spread the oatmeal, coconut, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a large,
lightly buttered roasting pan or ovenproof dish (about 11x17 inches is
best, although a smaller pan will do). Bake for about 20 minutes, tossing
several times.

Meanwhile, combine in a small saucepan the margarine, brown sugar, honey
and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add the vanilla off the heat.

Reset the oven to 350~ then add the wheat germ to the toasted mixture.
Dribble the sugarhoney mixture syrup over the granola, tossing with a fork
to coat the dry mixture evenly.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 56 minutes longer. Add the
raisins, toss to distribute, and press the granola down firmly into an even
layer. Bake 5 minutes or so longer, or until the granola is golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slip a flexible spatula under
the granola to break in to large pieces. Let cool completely and store
airtight.

Makes 6 cups.
