This multigrain hot cereal is the ultimate comfort food for a chilly morning.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the barley, rye, and wheat berries thoroughly under cold water.
  2. Place the rinsed grains in a small saucepan with 2 cups of water.
  3. Add the chopped dried apricots to the saucepan.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Check for tenderness; if grains are still firm, add a splash of water and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 15 minutes to allow the cereal to thicken and absorb remaining liquid.
  8. Stir gently before serving into bowls.
