04/14/2016

Store bought granola often has preservatives, artificial flavors, excessive vegetable oil and loads of sugar.  Also, most companies add sulfuric acid or sulfur dioxide to help preserve the dried fruit’s vibrant color.  We prefer to use unsulfured, unsweetened dried fruit; cranberries are an exception to the…
