Summer Oatmeal

1. 1

   In a saucepan, mix the fruit with the sugar and simmer gently.

2. 2

   Simmer only until the fruit is soft and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the burner and cool until the fruit is body temperature or less.

3. 3

   In a bowl that you can store in the refrigerator, mix yogurt and uncooked oatmeal.

4. 4

   After the fruit has cooled sufficiently, stir it gently into the oatmeal-yogurt mixture.

5. 5

   Refrigerate this for at least 7 hours.

6. 6

   For fruit, we use frozen blueberries, blackberries, and peaches. I do not recommend pineapple or other highly acidic fruit. We also are not fond of strawberries in this.

7. 7

   We use homemade yogurt cultured from a very old Caspian sea culture (it's a bit runnier than standard yogurts).

8. 8

   For sweetener, I use either brown sugar, maple syrup, honey, or cactus honey powder.

9. 9

   Add spices and dried fruit or nuts as desired.

10. 10

    I also will use a roasted whole seven-grain cereal in this recipe, but it requires closer to 12 hours to soften the grains.
