I rack my brains every year to find the right mix of playful container, yummy goodies and insightful yet humorous greeting to accompany said basket. One year the theme was chocolate, the next muffins and another was s\u2019mores. This year due to time constraints such as \u201cwhere did it go?\u201d and \u201cI got no time left\u201d I decided to go with wine, Clementines, my very own homemade hamentashen and a couple of really delicious snack mixes.<\/p>\n<p>Mishloach\u00a0Manot (the sending of portions) is the baskets of food given to friend, family and the community on Purim. Jewish law mandates the giving of two different types of \u201cready to eat foods\u201d, to at least one person on Purim hence our need to give them to everyone we\u2019ve ever met and a few we haven\u2019t. Trail mix or granola really fits the bill both expense wise and bulk wise when it comes time to figure out what to pack into the basket along with the fruit, wine or grape juice and candy.<\/p>\n<p>A first-class, satisfying and delicious trail mix usually consists of nice mix of sweet and salty flavored ingredients with a dash of chocolate thrown in for fun. I typically use nuts, cereal, dried fruit and again, chocolate in some form. The following recipes are guaranteed to satisfy the mandate to be generous and give as well as having your friends begging you for the recipes.<\/p>\n<p><em>TIP: To wrap up your mixes you can use a small plastic sandwich bag and tie it with ribbon or you can put it in a pretty tin or bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Note: Make sure you mark any mixture that has nuts in as there are lots of people out there with peanut allergyies.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong><u>Cherry\u00a0and\u00a0Pecan Granola\u00a0(pareve or dairy)<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Yields 4 cups<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ingredients<\/span>:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><em>2 cups uncooked old fashioned oats (not 5 minute or instant)<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>1-1\/3 cup dried cherries or cranberries if you don\u2019t\u2019 have cherries, chopped<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>2\/3 cup chopped pecans<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00bc teaspoon salt<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>2 Tablespoons margarine or butter, melted<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>\u00bd cup honey<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Instructions<\/span>:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.<\/li>\n<li>Line a sided sheet pan with parchment paper.<\/li>\n<li>In a large bowl, stir together oats, cherries, pecans and salt.
