This is a delicious oatmeal, full of fruit and nuts. I invented it because I had to use up a bowl of ancient apples. When I made this I made everything in one pot but it may be easier to cook the fruit separately and mix it into cooked oatmeal.I peeled and diced the apples and cooked them along with some fresh grated coconut in a big pot with some orange juice, a small amount of sugar, and some cinnamon. You want this to turn out like a thick, chunky applesauce, so just add enough juice to keep the apples from burning. Add more juice every time the pot gets dry. I cooked the apples until they were very soft. When the apples were done I added some walnut halves.
Add the fruit mixture to cooked oatmeal. Such a yummy breakfast - apples, coconut, orange, and walnuts.
I just had to tell you that I love the way you always use up your aging fruit and never throw it away! That is awesome! I must confess when my fruit starts turning, I have been known to throw it out :( You have inspired me to find a use for it.
ReplyDeleteI have such an aversion to wasting things, especially food. I'm not sure why that is; I don't think we were forced to "clean our plates" as kids. Unless something is hairy-moldy I will try and use it.
