Take the chill off your morning with a hearty and delicious twist on regular oatmeal.
Preparation time: 10-15 minutes
¾ cup pink grapefruit juice
¾ cup water
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon brown sugar, firmly packed
2 seedless oranges or tangerines, sectioned, chopped
4 dates (2 tablespoons), chopped
1 tablespoon almonds, slivered
In a medium saucepan, combine grapefruit juice, water, cinnamon, and salt; bring to a boil over HIGH heat. Stir in the oats and reduce the heat to MEDIUM-LOW. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Cover the oatmeal and let stand for 8 minutes, or until desired consistency is reached (it will continue to thicken as it stands). Stir in brown sugar. Spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with oranges, dates and almonds.
