A creamy and indulgent porridge with dried apricots and organic honey, perfect for a cold winter's day or when you need some internal central heating for a long day! Use the soft semi-dried apricots, otherwise they will not cook with the porridge in time to eat them. For a special treat, use Gold top Jersey milk or single cream.
Ingredients
- 1 teacup of porridge oats (or 50g in weight)
- 2 teacups of milk (or 300mls)
- 6 to 8 dried apricots, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon organic honey
