Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 c Rolled oats (not instant)
1 c Raw wheat germ -- (available
-at natural-food stores)
1/2 c Sunflower seeds
1 c Honey or brown sugar
2 c Pecans -- coarsely chopped
1 c Powdered milk (3.2 oz)
1/2 c Sesame seeds
1 tb Vanilla extract
2 ts Salt
1 c Vegetable oil
1/4 c Water
1 c Dried apricots -- coarsely chopped
1 c Dried apples -- coarsely chopped
1 c Dried prunes or dates --
-pitted and chopped
1 c Dark raisins
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Combine all, or as many of these
ingredients as you can put together, in a huge bowl. You will
probably have use your hands to turn the mixture over until it is
thoroughly combined.
Divide between 2 jelly-roll pans and toast in the preheated oven
for 1 hour. Stir the ingredients well every 15 minutes, turning
them over to be sure that nothing burns on the bottom.
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the mixture to stand for
about 1 hour until it has cooled completely. Pack into apothecary
jars, old-fashioned candy jars, or other airtight containers.
It keeps indefinitely---or at least 8 weeks, which is quite a long
time.
