Oatmeal Yogurt Blueberry Parfait

1. 1

   1. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and add the oatmeal. Toast, stirring or shaking the pan, until the oatmeal begins to color and smell toasty. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Stir into the yogurt along with 4 teaspoons of the honey or sugar, cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.

   2. The next day, combine the berries, remaining honey or sugar, lime juice and balsamic vinegar in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is reduced and the berries have cooked down to a jamlike consistency. Allow to cool. You should have about 1 cup of thick, jammy sauce.

   3. Spoon or pipe 1/4 cup of the yogurt/oatmeal mix into the bottom of each of 4 tumblers or parfait glasses. Top with 2 tablespoons of the berry sauce. Make another 1/4 cup layer of yogurt on top of the berry sauce, and finish with another layer of berry sauce. Cover tightly and chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle finely chopped pistachios over the top.
