Crunchy Homemade Granola


4 C rolled oats
1 C wheat germ
1C walnuts, chopped or slivered almonds
1/2 C sesame seeds
1/4 C brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 C vegetable oil
1/3 honey
1/3 C water
6 oz. dried fruits
Heat the oven to 330 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ, nuts, sesame, brown sugar, cinnamon ans salt. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the oil, honey and water. Add fruits. Toss the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined, then spread evenly on a cookie sheet. Bake the granola for 40 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring every 10 minutes to keep the mixture from sticking. Let it cool completely. Makes about 7 cups.
