Heat until dissolved, but do not boil. Pour syrup over dry ingredients and stir until well coated. Spread onto five, 9x13 inch baking pans. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and add raisins. Store in airtight containers in a cool, dry place. Use within 6 months. Makes 20 cups.
