- 1 cup dried cherries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250° F.

- Spread granola in an even layer on one or two baking sheets (depending on size). Cook for 1 hour. Optionally, stir every 15 minutes to achieve an even color.

Notes
Cook the granola until golden, but don’t expect it to be hard when you remove it from the oven. It will harden as it cools.
