Festive and Fruity Granola

March 4, 2009 by Alison

This granola makes a yummy family breakfast or snack while you are wrapping presents. If you have holiday visitors, put some out in the morning with carafes of milk and coffee. Or enlist a friend to make the granola and pack it up in pretty bags for gifts for teachers, neighbors or co-workers.
