Recipe by: McDougall Combine all dry ingredients, fruits and nuts in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix the honey, hot water and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients and mix well. Spread a 1/2 inch layer on baking dished and bake in a 250 degree oven for one hour, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven, let cool. Store in covered containers. HELPFUL HINTS: Nuts may be omitted, use more wheat or rye flakes. Other dried fruits may be substituted for ones suggested. Be sure to stir every 20 minutes or so to keep the granola from sticking or burning.
