Ingredients

  • 3 cups matzo farfel
  • 2/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup sweetened or unsweetened coconut
  • 2/3 cup pecans broken into large pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter or parve margarine
  • 1/3 cup wildflower or clover honey
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped dried mixed fruit of your choice including raisins or 7 oz. bag of dried fruit pieces

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 325F.
  • Combine the farfel, almonds, coconut, pecans, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a  3 quart mixing bowl.
  • Melt the butter and honey in a small glass bowl in a microwave for 1 minute until butter is melted and honey is more fluid.
  • Stir the butter mixture into the farfel mixture until all farfel is lightly coated with the butter.
  • Spread mixture over a large jellyroll pan with 1-inch sides and bake for 15 minutes.  Half way through baking stir to brown evenly.
  • Remove from oven.  Cool slightly and then toss with the dried fruit.
  • When totally cooled, store in a zip lock bag or airtight storage container for all eight days of Passover!  If it lasts that long!
  • Chocolate Granola Treats
  • Melt 8 ounces of Passover chocolate chips and mix them with 1 1/2 or 2 cups prepared granola. Stir to coat well.
  • Drop by teaspoonful onto parchment paper and allow the mounds to firm up before you devour them!
