Homemade Granola

My mom makes this homemade granola and it is so yummy to munch on....maybe a little too yummy because before you know it, the granola is all gone.  I like to sprinkle granola on yogurt with fresh fruit.

4 C Oatmeal
Dash of salt
1/2 C chopped or sliced almonds
1/2 C chopped pecans
1/2 C coconut
1/4 C flax seed
1/4 C wheat germ
1/2 C brown sugar
1/3 C vegetable oil
1/2 C honey
1 t vanilla
1/2 C dried cranberries
1/2 C raisins

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Spray jelly-roll size baking sheet with pam.  In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients.  In a small saucepan, stir together brown sugar, oil and honey.  Stir until mixture comes to a boil.  Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.  Stir honey mixture into oatmeal mixture until thoroughly mixed.  Pour into baking sheet.  With clean, moistened hands, press mixture evenly in pan. Bake 15-20 min.  Put in dried fruit in after granola is cooked.  Let cool.  Using spatula, gently lift and break apart into pieces and place in an airtight container.
