Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup almonds, sliced
4 cups 1% low-fat milk
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 cup instant polenta
1/2 tsp cinnamon ( optional) or 1/2 tsp dried orange peel (optional)
honey

Directions:

Place the milk and cranberries in a medium, heavey saucepan. Bring the milk almost to a boil, turn off the heat and let sit until the cranberries are soft and plump, about 5 minutes.
Toast almonds in dry fry pan over medium heat, shaking offten and being careful not to burn.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cranberries to a small bowl. Bring the milk almost back to a boil (if using cinnamon or dried orange peel option add now) and whisk in the polenta in a very slow, steady stream (if not done this way you will get lumps). Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the polenta thickens and starts to pull away ftom the sides of the pan, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the cranberries and divide among individual bowls.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over each bowl and drizzle with honey.
