Ingredients

4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut (available at natural food stores)

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup pecans

1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter

1/2 cup honey

2 cups mixed dried fruit such as cranberries, cherries, currants, golden raisins, apricots, prunes, and/or dates

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together oats, coconut, nuts, and spices. In a small saucepan, melt butter with honey over low heat, stirring occasionally. Pour butter mixture over oat mixture and toss to combine well. Mix in brown sugar well.

Spread granola evenly in 2 shallow baking pans and bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring frequently and switching positions of pans halfway through baking, until golden brown (about 30 minutes). In a large bowl, combine the granola with dried fruits and cool, stirring occasionally. Granola keeps in an airtight container, chilled, for 1 month.
