Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3/4 cup cornmeal

1/2 cup cracked wheat cereal or bulgur

1/2 cup regular rolled oats

1/2 cup snipped dried apricots

OR mixed dried fruit bits

1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans

1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger

 

Stir together a batch of this cracked wheat cereal mix and store it in the

refrigerator. A bowlful cooks quickly and really satisfies on those

blustery, cold-weather days.

cereal, rolled oats, apricots, walnuts or pecans, cardamom, nutmeg, and

ginger. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Makes 2

2/3 cups (8 servings).

 

To cook 1 serving: In a small saucepan bring 1 cup water and a dash salt to

boiling. Slowly stir in 1/3 cup cereal mixture. Simmer, uncovered, about

10 minutes or until desired consistency. Serve topped with skim milk and

sugar.

 

To cook 2 servings: Prepare as directed for 1 serving, except use 2 cups

water and 1/8 teaspoon salt with 2/3 cup cereal mixture.

 

Preparation time: 5 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes.
