Hyggeville Granola

2 ¾ cups rolled oats
1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup unsweetened coconut
⅓ cup pepitas
1 ½ t. kosher salt
½ cup light brown sugar
⅓ cup real maple syrup
⅓ cup olive oil
¾ cup dried sour cherries, freeze dried cherries or freeze dried raspberries

Preheat oven to 300°. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, pistachios, coconut, and pepitas. Set the cherries aside to add after baking.

In a small saucepan set over low heat, warm the sugar, salt, syrup and olive oil until the sugar has just dissolved, then remove from heat. Add liquids into the mixture of oats, making sure to coat the dry ingredients well.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment and spread granola over it. Bake until dry and lightly golden, 35 to 45 minutes, stirring granola a few times along the way.

Remove from oven, and mix in the dried sour cherries. Allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to a storage container. Makes about 6 cups.
