   Fill a half pint (jelly jar) half full of oatmeal.

2. 2

   Add the goodies.

3. 3

   Pour boiling water to just below the threads.

4. 4

   Invert a few times,.

5. 5

   Let sit for at least15 minutes.

6. 6

   Add butter and milk if you want.

7. 7

   The texture will be a bit different that what you cook on the stove.

8. 8

   This can be made in a thermal container and it will stay hot much longer and results in a texture more like stovetop.

9. 9

   Obviously 1 pint jar is 2 servings, 1 quart is 4 servings.

10. 10

    Don't have a canning jar, use what you have. Fill it half full of oats and then top with boiling water after your goodies -- that's the trick.
