Ingredients:

  • 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Directions:

  1. Place apricots in a small bowl with hot water to cover, and let stand 5 minutes or until plump. Drain.
  2. Cook milk, next 4 ingredients, and 2 cups water in a heavy nonaluminum saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, 5 to 6 minutes or just until bubbles appear (do not boil). Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick and cloves with a slotted spoon, and discard.
  3. Stir in oats. Cook over low heat, stirring often, 30 minutes or until done. Top with apricots, and serve immediately.
  4. Note: For testing purposes only, we used McCann's Steel-Cut Irish Oatmeal.
  5. Creamy Wheat Cereal: Substitute 3/4 cup uncooked quick-cooking (2 1/2-minute) creamy wheat cereal for 1 cup Irish oats. Proceed with recipe as directed, reducing cook time in Step 3 to 3 to 5 minutes or until done. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Original (2 1/2-minute) Cream of Wheat.
