Directions
Bring water and fruit to a boil.
Slowly add cereal to boiling water while stirring.
Reduce heat to low, cook, stirring frequently, 15 to 30 minutes.
The longer the ingredients cook, the softer they will be.
The porridge should be like a thick soup.
Do not add milk at the table.
For added flavor, add a sprinkle of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, or any combination of these.
