hot wheat cereal

This recipe was inspired by a post I read from a guy who made cereal every day in a thermos. Basically, at night he put wheat berries and boiling water in a thermos, and in the morning he had hot cooked cereal. Minimum cost for both the wheat (which is dead cheap) and nearly no fuel cost.

ingredients

• 2 cups wheat berries - rinsed and drained (white wheat tastes better than red wheat)
• 4 cups water
• 4-6 apples, peeled, sliced and cored
• 1/2 cup raisins
• few drops of blackstrap molasses
• stick of cinnamon

method

Put all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low all night.

In morning, serve cereal with milk or cream and sweetener to taste.

This makes 6 pretty hearty servings; leftovers can be nuked.
