âWith its mild maple flavor and crispy broiled topping, this oatmeal is comforting yet special. I often use dried cherries instead of the raisins and add star anise to spice it up a bit.â âRose Ann Wilson, Germantown, Wisconsin Ingredients:
8 cups 2% milk |
2 cups steel-cut oats |
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches) |
1 orange peel strip (1 to 3 inches) |
dash salt |
3/4 cup dried cranberries |
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1/2 cup maple syrup |
buttermilk, optional |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, bring milk to a boil over medium heat. Add the oats, cinnamon, orange peel and salt. Reduce heat; simmer for 30 minutes or until thick and creamy, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from the heat; discard cinnamon and orange peel. Stir in the cranberries, raisins, syrup and a small amount of buttermilk if desired. Cover and let stand for 2 minutes.
3. Transfer to eight ungreased 6-oz. ramekins. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Broil 8 in. from the heat for 4-7 minutes or until sugar is caramelized. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings.
