Ingredients
- 3 cups milk (2% is fine, but don't use skim)
- 3 tablespoons honey, plus more to taste
- 3 cups cooked Basic Wheat Berries (see note below)
- Generous pinch of ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup pitted, chopped dates
- Sweetened whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
Method
- In a heavy 3--quart saucepan, combine the milk and honey and bring to a boil. Stir in the wheat berries, cinnamon, and salt. Return to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook at a gentle boil for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Skim off and discard the skin that forms on top.
- Stir in the dates and continue cooking at a gentle boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes quite thick, about 15 minutes longer. Add more honey, if you wish.
- Serve hot in small bowls. Garnish with whipped cream, if you wish.
