Six Mile Granola Recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter 

1/2 cup light-brown sugar 

1/2 cup brown-rice syrup or honey 

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 

1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt 

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 cup water 

4 1/2 cups rolled oats 

1/2 cup wheat germ 

1/2 cup bran 

1 cup raw cashews 

1 cup raw almonds 

1 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut 

2/3 cup dried cherries 

2/3 cup golden raisins 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sugar, and cook until melted. Stir in brown-rice syrup or honey, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and water. Add remaining ingredients, except dried fruits, and toss. Arrange in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and dry, about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool on sheets. Transfer to a bowl, and add dried fruits. Granola can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
