Hanna's Homemade Granola

4 cups rolled oats
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup chopped walnuts or slivered almonds
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 (6 oz.) package dried sweetened cranberries or other dried fruits such as cherries, raisins, etc.

Heat oven to 300 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, wheat germ,  nuts, sesame seeds, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.  Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the oil, honey, and water.  Toss the mixture until the ingredients are well combined, then spread it 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 cook completely, then stir in the cranberries or dried fruit.  Makes about 7 cups.

Homemade granola bars

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 honey
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp. tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 cups crisp rice cereal
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup dried fruit chopped fine
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Heat the oven to 350.  Coat a 9 by 13 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.  Melt the butter or margarine in a large pot over low heat and whisk in the sugar, honey, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.  Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Transfer the mixture to the baking pan.  Using a sheet of waxed paper and the palms of your hands, press the granola firmly into the pan,  packing it to a flat and even thickness.  Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.  Allow the granola to cool 1 hour in the pan,  then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into bars.  Makes 16 to 24 rectangular bars.
