This is an adaptation of a recipe from The Historic Strater Hotel in Durango, CO. They use real Irish oats or steel cut oats but I can never find them so I use regular rolled oats. If anyone out there is lucky enough to find them, they do take longer to cook. Ingredients:
2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons butter |
2 cups rolled oats |
1/3 cup light corn syrup |
1/4 cup brandy |
1 cup raisins |
8 tablespoons cream |
4 tablespoons light brown sugar |
1 cup fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and brandy over medium heat; bring to a simmer.
2. Add raisins and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Set aside to cool (I prepare the raisin-brandy sauce ahead of time, like the night before, to let the raisins soak up the brandy).
4. In a saucepan, add water and salt; bring to a boil.
5. Add butter and oats.
6. Lower heat and simmer until oats are tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
7. Place 2 tablespoons of cream and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of drained raisins in 4 bowls.
8. Add steaming cooked oats and top with fresh berries.
9. Each person stirs their bowl to enjoy the hidden surprise waiting underneath.
