Mixed up a batch of this yummy granola

yesterday.

Fruit & Spice Granola
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup pecans
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1/2 cup honey
2 cups mixed dried fruits such as cranberries, cherries,

currants, golden raisins, apricots, prunes, and/or dates
**
Preheat oven to 350°F.
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.
Spread granola evenly in 2 shallow baking pans and

bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, stirring frequently

and switching position of pans halfway through baking,

until golden brown, about 30 minutes. In large bowl

combine granola with dried fruits and cool,

stirring occasionally.

I just realized after writing this recipe,

that I left out the spice - duh! I forgot to

add the cinnamon & the nutmeg, but it's

still delicious! Guess it would be even better.

Next time...
