Homemade Granola

7 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 1/4 cups unsweetened shredded coconut

1 cup chopped nuts (I use almonds)

1 cup raw sunflower seeds

1/2 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup olive oil

1 cup dried fruit: raisins, dates, prunes, apples (I use dates)

Mix oats, coconut, nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds in a large roasting pan. Measure honey and oil into a nonmetal 2-cup measuring cup. Heat in microwave for 30 to 45 seconds, or until warm. Pour honey mixture over cereal and mix and stir well. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.

After the cereal mixture has cooled, stir in dried fruit and store in an airtight container.
