Ingredients

A 5 cups oats

1 cup pecan pieces

1 cup sliced almonds

3/4 cup coconut

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup wheat germ

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

B 1/2 cup OJ

1/2 cup apple juice

6 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1/4 cup maple syrup

C 2 tsp vanilla

D 2 cups assorted dried fruit (I add more than that)

raisins, cut up apricots, cranberries, etc.

Preparation

Mix “A” together in a large bowl

Bring all “B” to a boil, remove from heat, cool slightly and add “C” (if you add C too soon, it will evaporate in the heat of the boil). Then drizzle and toss this mixture thoroughly through “A”

Spread on 2 cookie sheets and cook at 300 degrees, for 50 minutes (approx.), stirring occasionally

Add “D” to the mixture 10 minutes before the end of cooking time
