This is a really good recipe for homemade granola. It would be great to use on top of yogurt, or to eat as a cereal with milk, but I just eat it by itself as a healthy snack. I used every single nut and fruit called for and wouldn't change a thing, except maybe add a little brown sugar to the butter/honey mixture. FYI, this recipe is NOT the "cluster type" granola. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for My 3 Chefs, 2009. *Update 2/24/10* I have made this several times now and I have tweaked it a bit for personal taste. I add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar to the honey/butter mixture and I use 1 cup of pecans instead of 1/2 (I LOVE pecans!). I have found that I love this mixed with a bowl of Frosted Flakes in milk (I know, it's not as healthy that way). I use about 1/2 granola and 1/2 Frosted Flakes. It makes a wonderful late night snack or breakfast.

I currently live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, although that will be changing shortly. I was living in Guatemala for the past few months, and plan on returning for a 2 year teaching assignment this coming January.
I have always loved to cook, and the more complicated recipe, the better. I also love any type of ethnic food, so most of the recipes you see in my cookbook are of that variety.
