  Recipe by: McDougall 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.

  cereals. Follow directions on package, but increase the amount of water by 
  1/2 cup for every two servings. 
   
  For added flavor, add a sprinkle of nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, or any 
  combination of these.
