Once you make your own granola, you'll never go back to store-bought.   This version is peanutty and sweet, with strawberries and dried cherries.

• 2 tbsp. strawberry all-fruit spread
• 2 tbsp. natural peanut butter
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup dried tart cherries

Directions:

• Heat the oven to 250 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, rice cereal, flaxseed, and salt.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the oil, fruit spread, peanut butter, and vanilla.
• Stir until combined and smooth.
• Pour over the dry ingredients and toss together.
• Spread the mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
• Let the granola cool to room temperature and stir in the dried cherries.
