Granola bars from scratch

This spring, my husband bought a 5-pound box of dried cherries on Amazon.com, our new favorite shopping site. He wanted me to make homemade granola bars using the dried cherries.

My homemade granola bars, made from oats, dried fruit, honey and sliced almonds, are chewy and crumbly. They can be messy to eat, but my husband takes them to work in a plastic container. The bars are much cheaper than the afternoon snacks he usually buys at the convenience store.
