Trail Mix Recipe

I have a confession to make.  When I was a child, my family's idea of camping was a cabin on Table Rock Lake complete with electricity, running water, things that go flush in the night, air-conditioning, a refrigerator & cable TV.   This week the theme on Ultimate Recipe Swap is camping food and I considered not participating but then I realized that my Trail Mix recipe would be perfect for this recipe swap.

I have never taken the trail mix on an actual camping trip but it is a great, high energy snack that is perfect for any outing.  Now that I have a son, I will probably make this trail mix when Dad takes him to overnight Scout camp.  However, I will be staying home with electricity, running water, things that go flush in the night, air-conditioning, a refrigerator & Netflix!

Trail Mix

• 1/2 cup Dried Blueberries
• 1/2 cup Dried Apricots
• 1/2 cup Raisins
• 1/2 cup Dried Cherries
• 1/2 cup Coconut (optional)
• 1 cup Sunflower Seeds (unsalted)
• 1 cup Honey Roasted Peanuts
• 1/2 cup Walnuts or Pecans (unsalted)
• 1/2 cup Almonds (unsalted)

Mix together all ingredients & store in an air-tight container.
