I am having SO much fun creating new oatmeal combinations. Two more are imminent, so watch out! :) This one uses tart, dried cherries and semi sweet chocolate to create a sweet/tart combo sure to try to make you feel guilty, but it's still good enough for you that you don't need to worry!

1 cup steel cut oats |
2 cups cherry 100% juice blend(old orchard makes great, inexpensive, 100% juice blends... check them out |
1-2 cups water |
1 heaping 1/4 cup dried cherries |
a non heaping 1/4 cup of semi sweet(or milk, if you prefer) chocolate chips(i used minis) |
2-4t powdered sugar(to taste) |
2t vanilla |
milk or cream, if desired |
Directions:
1. Combine juice and water in medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
2. Add oats and cherries, reduce heat and let simmer about 25 minutes without stirring.
