Granola

5 cups rolled oats
3 cups mixed nuts and seed (sunflower, chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews & sesame seeds)
1 cup unsweetened coconut
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2-1 cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla (optional)
1-1 1/2 cups raisins to shopped dried fruit
salt

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except raisins, and sprinkle with a little bit of salt. Toss well. Spread mixture on rimmed baking sheet and bake 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The granola should brown evenly: the darker it gets without burning, the crunchier it will be.

Remove pan from oven and add raisins. Cool on a rack, stirring now and then until the granola reaches room temperature. Put in sealed container and store in refrigerator; it will keep indefinitely.
