Put a new twist on oatmeal by mixing in a bit of fruit preserves, fresh strawberries and almonds.

Ingredients

2 cups water
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup raspberry fruit spread, slightly melted
½ almond extract
2 cups strawberries, quartered
1 ounce slivered almonds, toasted

Instructions

Combine water, oats, and salt in a medium-size pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes uncovered. Remove from heat and let stand 2 minutes. 
Place the fruit spread in a small microwave-safe bowl and cook on high setting for 15 seconds or until slightly melted. Remove from heat and stir in the extract.
