GRANOLA
Melt together in large pan on stove:
½ cup preserves (I used peach)
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup vegetable shortening (liquid or solid) or ¾ cup butter
Stir in above after turning off burner:
1-2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon cinnamon
dash of salt
½ cup to 1 cup nuts (I use sliced almonds)
Add:
4 cups of oats (quick or old fashioned)
Stir into hot mixture and coat oats. If there appears to be too much liquid, stir in more oats.
Put on a greased cookie sheet or 9×13 inch greased cake pan.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes (stir every 10-15 minutes – edges get brown before middle).
When golden brown, remove from oven and poke ½-1 cup raisins into warm/hot granola (if you like them).
Cool for about 10-15 minutes and use a spatula to remove granola from pan.
Store in an airtight, covered container. Eat as a snack or use as a breakfast cereal, serving granola with milk.
