James Family Granola


2, 42 oz canisters Old Fashion Oats
6 oz sunflower seeds
7 oz coconut
8 oz wheat germ
1 c. sesame seed

Mix together in a very large bowl.

Then in a small sauce pan mix:

3/4 c. honey
1/2 - 3/4 c. vegetable oil
1 c. brown sugar

Cook on stove top until dissolved.  Then add:

1 T. vanilla
1 t. cinnamon (to taste)

Stir.  Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Stir the wet mixture from the sauce pan into the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl.  Evenly coat.  Spoon onto 3 separate cookie sheets.  Bake for 15 - 20 min, flip granola over with a spatula so the granola on the "underside" will bake, switch racks (top cookie sheets on bottom oven rack and vise versa).  Bake another 15 - 20 min.  Flip granola and switch racks again.  Bake for another 10 min or until golden brown (keep checking it so as to perfectly brown the granola; burnt granola is the worst!).
