Gail Hall - Quick Cooking Barley With Fruit and Yogurt

 QUICK COOKING BARLEY WITH FRUIT AND YOGURT

Yield: 3 cups

1  cup      Progressive Food's Quick Cooking Barley

3/4 cup   Organic Apple Juice (try my favourite - Santa Cruz available at Planet Organic and Safeway)

3/4 cup    Water   

pinch        Ground Cinnamon

pinch        Ground Nutmeg

1/4 cup     Raisins

1/4 cup     Dried Cranberries

1/2 cup     Chopped Figs

1/2 to 3/4 cup  Yogurt (try my favourite - Lemon Liberté Yogurt)

¼    cup      Toasted Almond Flakes

In medium saucepan, add quick cooking barley, apple juice, water, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, stir well and reduce to a simmer. Add raisins, cranberries, and figs. Stir well.  Cover and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Shut of heat and let steep for 10 to 20 minutes. At this point you can eat as a hot cereal, or cool down and add ½ to ¾ cup Liberté Lemon Yogurt (or your favourite). Mix well, serve and top with toasted almonds.

Feel free to add any other of your favourite fruits: chopped apples, pears, berries, etc.
