Author Notes: I've tried a couple of the granola recipes here, but my mother's is still my favorite. You can change it up by using your favorite nuts, seeds or fruit - riv

Makes 4 or so cups

9 ounces Old fashioned oats
8 ounces slivered almonds
4 ounces wheat germ (optional)
7 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
honey to taste
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/3 cup oil
walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, pecans, or whatever you like
raisins, craisins, chopped apricots, dried cherries, etc.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Toss with honey and oil and spread on lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees, tossing every 10 minutes to prevent burning, for 30 minutes, or until evenly browned.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Toss in dried fruit.
