Oatmeal makes a very fine, velvety textured ‘porridge’. But if oatmeal is not for you then simply replace with the same volume of rolled oats instead.

5 tbsp oatmeal or jumbo rolled oats

300ml (10fl oz) cold water

25g (1oz) caster sugar, or to taste

50g (2oz) dried cherries

2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds, to serve

Place the oatmeal or oats and cold water in a heatproof bowl that fits into your slow cooker dish. Do not stir.

Place the bowl in the slow cooker dish and pour in enough cold water around the outside to come about one-third of the way up the sides of the bowl.

Cover with the lid and cook on low overnight or for up to 9 hours.

The next morning or just before you are ready to eat, stir in the sugar and dried cherries. Leave to stand for 5–10 minutes or until the fruit starts to re-hydrate. Top with toasted flaked almonds and serve.

TRY…

this with other dried fruits too, such as ready-to-eat dried apricots or dried blueberries.
