1. c. shredded or flaked coconut
1 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. honey
1/4 c. butter
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

2/3 c. raisins, dried cranberries, or diced dried fruit bits
Directions:
Combine all ingredients (except raisins) in ungreased 9"x13" pan; mix well. Bake in preheated oven (350 degrees F.) for 25-40 min., stirring at least every 10 minutes, and more often as it progresses, until Golden Brown. Stir in raisins; Cool thoroughly. Store in a covered container or jar, in a cool, dry place, or in refrigerator. Serve as cereal, with milk, or as a snack. Particularly good when layered with puddings (or fruit and yogurt) for parfaits.
Other suggestions and comments:
This might toast up a bit faster in a Jelly Roll pan, which is simply a bit wider, longer, and shallower.
This is easy and inexpensive to make...as long as you remember: Check on it and Stir it! ;-)
You could also add mini chocolate chips; in that event, be sure to cool the granola Completely before adding them.
