Fruit 'n' Trail Mix

¼ cup sunflower seeds
4 cups old fashioned oats
½ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup cashew halves (I used raw peanuts, cheaper)
2/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
½ cup sesame seeds, toasted
½ cups packed brown sugar
½ cup honey
1/teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups assorted bite-size dried fruit (raisins, apricots, cherries,
       (cranberries, dates, etc.)

In a large skillet, lightly toast oats in oil.  Add the sunflower seeds,
cashews (raw peanuts), almonds and sesame seeds.  Combine the brown
sugar, honey and cinnamon; add to oat and nut mixture.  Cook and stir
for 5 minutes.

Spread in two ungreased 15" x 10" x 1" baking pans.  Bake at 350 for 15
- 20 minutes.  Cool, stirring often so it doesn't stick to pan.  Stir in
fried fruit.  Store in an airtight container.  Yields:  10 cups
