Lou's Granola

3/4 c. salted butter
1/2 c. canola oil
1 c. clover honey
2 t. vanilla
1 t. ground cinnamon
5-1/2 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. shredded sweetened coconut
3/4 c. chopped walnuts
2/3 c. sesame seeds
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1/4 c. sliced almonds
1 c. raisins
Fresh berries, for serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set racks in top and bottom thirds of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick mats.

In a 3- or 4-quart pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the oil and honey, and stir. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and cinnamon, and whisk to combine.

In a large bowl, stir together all remaining ingredients except raisins and berries. Pour the butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir.

Divide the granola between the baking sheets and spread to an even thickness. Bake, stirring ever 5 minutes, until browned and fragrant, 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with raisins, then store in a tightly sealed jar. Serve topped with fresh berries.

Makes about 3 quarts.
