~ Granola In-A-Jar ~

Finishing up the Gifts-In-A-Jar today we are going to make Granola.


Ingredients:
1 c. uncooked oats
1 c. rice crispies
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. wheat germ (mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon)
1/4 c. shelled sunflower seeds
3/4 c. raisins (in a baggie)
Directions: Layer in order into a 1 quart wide-mouth mason jar, pressing each layer as you go. Raisins (in baggie) will go on top. Seal.
Include these instructions on the gift tag: Remove bag of raisins and set aside. Empty rest of the jar into a large bowl. Mix. Now add 2 Tablespoons of oil until well coated. Add 1/3 cup of honey and mix well. Spread into a 9x13 pan and bake at 250 degrees for 40 minutes. Stir the granola around after 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely and stir in the raisins. Store in an air tight container. This can be used either as a cereal or as a topping for yogurt or ice cream. ~ Chef ~
