Recipe By : McDougall
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Breakfast Low-Fat

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/2 c Water
1 1/2 c Oatmeal -- * see note
1/2 c Dried fruit
- (raisins, apples, apricots)
1 ds Ground nutmeg
1 ds Ground mace
1 ds Ground cinnamon

Bring water and fruit to a boil. Slowly add cereal to boiling water
while stirring. Reduce heat to low, cook, stirring frequently, 15
to 30 minutes. The longer the ingredients cook, the softer they
will be.

The porridge should be like a thick soup. Do not add milk at the
table.

Hints:

Most health food stores sell many kinds of whole grain cereals.
Follow directions on package, but increase the amount of water by
1/2 cup for every 2 servings.

For added flavor, add a sprinkle of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, or any
combination of these.
