Recipe from Manitoba Harvest. A blender works very well to mix together the honey, oil, and spices.

• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 250°F.

3. Put the mixture in a 12"x18"x3" roasting pan. Bake 2 1/2 - 3 hours at 250 F, stirring every half hour, or until granola is evenly light brown in color and mostly dry.
4. Let cool completely. Serve with dried fruit and milk of your choice. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
