McGowan Nut-N-Honey Granola

I LOVE GRANOLA! and eat it every day with a piece of fruit and Smith's CarbSmart Vanilla yogurt...no kidding..i eat it everyday! It's a great-tasting-good-for-you snack :) I lately have bought my granola from the Church's storehouse, but if i don't have it onhand, I make my own! I've tried different granolas, but this is my favorite so far...
Juice from 2 large oranges
6 cups rolled oats
4 cups Rice Krispies
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 cup sunflower seed kernels
1 cup slivered almonds
1 can of Planters Mixed Nuts (chopped)—17 oz. can
2 ½ tea. salt
2 cups packed Brown sugar
4 tea. Vanilla
1 cup coconut
3-4 Tab oil
2 tea. Cinnamon
1 ½ cups honey
1 ½ cups Karo
2 cups Raisins
1 cup Craisins
Heat in small boiler orange juice, salt, brn sugar, cinnamon, honey, karo
Remove from heat and add oil and vanilla
Combine all other ingredients and mix well except raisins and craisins
Add honey mixture to dry ingred and mix well with hands, blending all ingred.
Spread into 2 jellyroll pans and bake at 225 for 2 hours stirring every 20 min.
Your house will smell wonderful during this process!!!!!!
