I'm on a roll this week. Must be all the oatmeal that I've been eating for breakfast. Oatmeal is a great way to start your day. Not only are you getting a considerable amount of fiber first thing in the morning, but it can help cut cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. But I digress. This is not a post about the awesome benefits of oatmeal. I'm going to tell you how to jazz it up.
What you need:
1 12oz bag of cranberries
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Rinse the cranberries and pick out any that look smooshed or gross. Place the cranberries in a 1 quart glass baking dish. Add the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover with tin foil and stick in the oven for 55 minutes. Stir the cranberry mixture to make sure all the sugar is dissolved. Let cool and serve in your favorite oatmeal. I prefer the old fashioned oats.
This is also a perfect pairing for a certain turkey dinner. Or you can use these cooked cranberries in muffins. It's quick, easy and super versatile.
