Irish Oatmeal With Seasonal Berries (4 servings) 2 cups rolled oats (real Irish or steel cut outs if available) 2 cups water 1 cup seasonal berries (blueberries and blackberries work great) 1 cup raisins 1/3 cup light corn syrup 1/4 cup brandy 8 Tablespoons cream 4 Tablespoons brown sugar 4 Tablespoons butter 1/4 teaspoon salt In a medium saucepan set to medium heat, bring corn syrup and brandy to a simmer. Add raisins and simmer 5 additional minutes. Set aside and alow to cool - the longer the better. You want the raisins to absorb the brandy. In a fairly large saucepan, bring water and salt to a rolling boil. Add butter and oats. Immediately lower heat. Allow oats to simmer 7 to 10 minutes until oats are tender. Drain excess water from oats if neccessary. Set out 4 serving bowls, place in the bootom of each bowl: 2 Tablespoons of cream, 1 Tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 Tablespoon of drained raisins. Add warm oats and top with fresh berries. Delicious and fun. If prepared correctly, each bowl has a little unexpected suprise at the bottom.
