Sugarless Granola

I have experimented with many, many recipes for granola, trying to find one that didn't use cane sugar but still stuck together alright. I tried different amounts of nuts and seeds, different spices, different sweeteners, and different amounts of oil, and, overall, this is my favorite recipe:

Sugarless Granola
Mix in bowl:
5 cups of oatmeal
2 cups of chopped almonds
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cups pumpkin seeds
1/2 raw wheat germ
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt

Add:
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup honey
1/2 fruit juice

Cook at 300 for 45 minutes (stir occasionally).
While that cooks, microwave and soak 1/3 cup craisins in 1/2 cup fruit juice.
Add craisins to oatmeal mixture and cook until it looks done--about 30 minutes more.

Enjoy plain, in yogurt, or with milk.
