Here is my own recipe for Cranberry Christmas Granola.
5 C Organic Old Fashioned Oatmeal
1/2 C Whole Sesame Seeds (you can use any mix of seeds that you like – Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame etc)
2 C Sweetened Dried Coconut
1 TBS FlaxSeed Meal
1 tsp FG (Fresh Ground) whole Anise
1 tsp FG Whole Fennel
Mix together well, then add in the spices and salt
1 TBS FG Whole Star Anise
20 FG Whole Cloves
1 FG Whole Cinnamon Stick
1 tsp Salt
Then toss in the olive oil and Agave Sweetner
1 1/2 C Agave Sweetner
3/4 C Olive Oil
Mix well and then put this mix on two cookie sheets. I cover the sheets with parchment paper, then spread the granola on the pan.
Bake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees
While the granola is cooking squeeze the juice from two organic Lemons.
Put this in the blender with
1/2 C Agave Sweetner and
1 C Dried Cranberries
1/4 C Dried Black Cherries
1/4 C Dried Raisins
Mix gently on a slow setting in the blender, and then let this sit while the granola cooks.
Pull the mix out of the oven and toss it into a bowl, then mix the dried fruit into the mix and put it back on the cookie sheets.
Bake the granola for an additional fifteen minutes at 300 Degress.
Pull it out and add in one more cup of dried cranberries. Let the mix cool.
I then put the mix into decorative bags and then put it in the freezer overnight to make sure it was completely cooled.
Mix 5 cups of organic old fashioned oats.
Adding in the agave and olive oil and grinding the spices.

Merry Christmas!

Here are a couple pictures of Pauls Cinnamon Rolls with a little bag of Granola. We delivered these treats to our friends over the past few days.
