Ingredients:

½ cup almonds

½ cup macadamia nuts

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

¼ cup raisins

¾ teaspoons vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:

Place nuts and seeds in a large bowl, cover with water and soak overnight.

Place raisins in a separate bowl, cover with ½ to 1 cup of water and soak overnight.

Place the raisins, along with their soaking water in a small food processor and puree until smooth.

In a fine mesh metal strainer, drain and rinse the nuts and seeds and discard the soaking water.

Add nuts and seeds to raisin puree in food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, to the consistency of granola. Then add vanilla, cinnamon and salt and pulse briefly to incorporate.

Transfer mixture onto a large parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake 45 minutes in the oven at 250F.

You may drizzle with agave or pure maple syrup, add shredded coconut, currants and any other dried fruit to your liking.
