Oatmeal with Dried Fruit

Nourishing oatmeal with dried apricots and raisins. Oatmeal with dried fruit isn't a bad way to start the morning. Dried fruit adds a lot to the dish and makes it look pretty, too. Use prunes carefully — their bold flavor isn't for everyone. But dried cherries, cranberries, and other berries won't go amiss. You can also add vanilla.

Cooking time: 20 min

Step 1:

Gather the ingredients for the oatmeal.
Step 2:

Bring the milk to a boil, add the salt and sugar, and stir in the rolled oats. Cook the oats according to the package directions — quick-cooking oats are done faster. In 5–10 minutes the oatmeal will be ready.
Step 3:

Rinse the raisins; rinse the dried apricots too and cut them into pieces about the same size as the raisins.
Step 4:

Add them to the oatmeal. Add the butter as well (if the milk is homemade and rich, you can skip the butter). Stir and serve.
Step 5:

You can let the oatmeal with dried fruit sit, but it will get thicker and denser.
