Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 1/2 c Quick-cooking oatmeal 1/4 c Honey
1 c Shredded coconut 1/2 ts Salt
-(unsweetened, from a health -(omit salt if using
-food store) - salted margarine)
1/3 c Untoasted sunflower seeds 1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 c Hulled sesame seeds 1/2 c Toasted wheat germ
4 tb Margarine 1/2 c Raisins
1/4 c (packed) dark brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 300~.

Spread the oatmeal, coconut, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds in a
large, lightly buttered roasting pan or ovenproof dish (about 11x17
inches is best, although a smaller pan will do). Bake for about 20
minutes, tossing several times.

Meanwhile, combine in a small saucepan the margarine, brown sugar,
honey and salt and bring to a simmer, stirring. Add the vanilla off
the heat.

Reset the oven to 350~ then add the wheat germ to the toasted mixture.
Dribble the sugar-honey mixture syrup over the granola, tossing with
a fork to coat the dry mixture evenly.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5-6 minutes longer. Add the
raisins, toss to distribute, and press the granola down firmly into
an even layer. Bake 5 minutes or so longer, or until the granola is
golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Slip a flexible spatula
under the granola to break in to large pieces. Let cool completely
and store airtight.

Makes 6 cups.
