Ingredients

For the Compote:
3 cups Mixed dried fruit (figs, prunes, apricots, apple rings)
1/2 cup Dried cranberries
2 - 3 tbsp Chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 cup Whole almonds
For the Oats:
Pinch of salt
1 cup Steel-cut oats
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Milk (optional)

Preparation

Compote:

In saucepan, combine 4 cups of water mixed with dried fruit, cranberries, ginger and almonds. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, simmer until the fruits are soft, 15-20 minutes.

Oats:

Bring 4 cups of water and salt to a boil. Stir in oats and cinnamon. Turn off the heat. Cover and let sit overnight.

Next morning, stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. If all of the water is absorbed, stir in milk or additional water. Cover and cook over low heat until oats are tender, about 5 minutes.

Spoon the compote on top.

Last-Minute:

Intead of soaking overnight, follow instructions above and simmer, covered for 18-25 minutes.
