BETTER THAN OATMEAL

[Kitchen Witch]

BETTER THAN OATMEAL
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 handfull sultana raisins
1 handfull chopped dried apricots
1 handfull chopped candied ginger (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups 7 grain cereal (wheat, oats, millet, barley, corn, spelt and flax)

I mix all these ingredients together and then just throw about 1/2 a cup
per person into 1 cup boiling water (per person) and simmer, stiring
regularly for 5 - 10 minutes. Micrwaving for 3 minutes (in a big bowl)
works really well too. Sometimes I add skim milk and brown sugar (or maple
syrup) when I serve this. It's so yummy we even eat it for dessert.

Other chopped dried fruit works really well too. I like the cranberries
because they have a tart refreshing flavor.
