Fruit & Honey Oatmeal
Nb persons: 4
Yield:
Preparation time:
Total time:
Source:
| 3 cups | tap water |
| 1-1/2 cups | dry quick cooking oatmeal |
| 1/3 cup | chopped dried fruit like dates, apricots, apples, prunes, cranberries, raisins, or whatever you have on hand |
| 1/4 cup | nuts, (optional) |
| 1/4 cup | honey |
| 1/2 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | cinnamon |
Bring the water to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in the oatmeal. Add the dried fruit, honey, salt and cinnamon. Cook and stir the mixture for 2 or 3 minutes. Cover the oatmeal and remove the pot from the heat. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 to 10 minutes to finish cooking. Serve hot with milk or yogurt and a little brown sugar if desired.
To use old-fashioned oatmeal instead, replace the quick cooking oatmeal with an equal amount of old-fashioned oats. All of the other measurements remain the same. Cook the oatmeal for 5 full minutes and serve hot. Makes about 4 servings.
I have used 1/3-cup of sugar instead of the honey called for above with good results. Pancake Syrup, corn syrup, and molasses could all be used a substitute for the honey too. By the way, almonds and cranberries or dates and walnuts are both very good versions of this cereal.
