4 cup Rolled oats
One half cup Rye flakes * see note
One half cup Wheat flakes * see note
Three fourths cup Wheat germ
1 cup Dried coconut
Three fourths cup Sunflower seeds
1 One half cup Mixed nuts chopped
One fourth cup Sesame seeds dried and
Hulled
One half cup Packed dark brown sugar
Three fourths cup Safflower oil or Canola
Three fourths cup Water
One fourth cup Honey
One fourth cup Molasses
One half teaspoon Salt to taste
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
2 cup Dried fruit **see note

* Rye flakes and wheat flakes can be found at health food stores and some
supermarkets. ** Use a variety of dried fruits for interesting taste:
raisins, dates, apricots, apples, peaches, etc.

Granola mix: In a large bowl, combine oats, rye, wheat, wheat germ,
coconut, sunflower seeds, nuts and sesame seeds. Stir until blended well.
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, oil, honey, molasses, salt,
vanilla and cinnamon. Heat and stir until sugar is dissolved. DO NOT boil.
Pour syrup over oat mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until syrup coats all
ingredients. Spread mixture in two 13 x 9 x 2inch pans or on 2 large
cookie sheets with raised edges. Bake in preheated 300degree oven 30
minutes, stirring occasionally. For crunchier texture bake 710 minutes
longer. Cool on racks. Stir in the dried fruit that has been chopped into
bite sized pieces. You can put this into containers and keep in cool dry
place for up to 6 months. Do not refrigerate.

Yield: About 10 cups.
