Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the water into a medium-sized saucepan and place it over high heat.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
  3. Once boiling, stir in the oatmeal and dried fruit to prevent clumping.
  4. Immediately reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 20 minutes or until the oats are tender and the mixture has thickened to a porridge consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly further.
  7. Serve warm in bowls, optionally sprinkling with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
