Porridge with Plum Butter & Roasted Almonds
Porridge with Plum Butter & Roasted Almonds
Yield 1 serving
Ingredients
250 g almonds (more or less)
1 dl quick oats
2 dl milk
1/2 tsp salt
A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
Make the Plum Butter (see below)
Roast your almonds on 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Add oats, milk, salt and cinnamon to a saucepan and boil until thick-ish. You want the porridge to be slightly loose as it will thicken when it cools.
Add the porridge to a bowl.
Roughly chop the almonds.
Add a nice amount of Plum Butter to the porridge and add roasted almonds.
Notes
Why 250 grams almonds? When you are going through the trouble of roasting almonds, why not make a bunch? They are the perfect snack!

Plum Butter
Fruit butter is made of fruit and sugar, boiled down to a thick syrup-like consistency without straining the flesh from the liquid- you end up with a creamy and delicious consistency that can be enjoy wherever and whenever you want. A perfect way to preserve the gifts that autumn brings us.

2 kg plums
5 dl sugar
Instructions
Remove the stone from the plums and add to a saucepan together with the sugar.
Let simmer for 20 minutes or until the plums have softened.

Let simmer for 3-4 hours until nice and thick.
Make sure the plum butter doesn't burn towards the end.
Keeps for a long time in sterilised jars.

You can use any type of fruit you'd like to make fruit butter- be creative!
