Great Granola

I don't make granola very often but it is always popular.  It can be eaten as pudding, breakfast or as a snack.  
First ingredient set
400g (14oz) rolled oats (or any porridge oats, actually)
100g (3.5oz) sunflower seeds
80g (3oz) white sesame seeds
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
50g (2oz) soft brown sugar
250g (9oz) whole natural almonds
a little salt

Second ingredient set
2 tbsp sunflower or rapeseed oil
4 tbsp honey
4 tbsp syrup (rice or golden)
175g (6oz) stewed apple (this is the best, I think) or apple sauce or apple juice

Last little bit
300g (10oz) raisins

-------------

1.  Mix the first ingredient set into a big bowl (the bigger the better).

2.  Add the wet ingredients and get stuck in with your hands to mix it up.

3.  Cook in a pre-heated oven (180 degrees C) for 40-50 minutes, or until browned.

4.  Add the last little bit, cool, and store in a sealed container.  It seems to last for the same amount of time as a packet of cereal.
