1/2 recipe

Ingredients

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted & chopped

½ cup millet

2 cups milk (we used 1%, but any milk, including nondairy milks will work)

1 teaspoon honey

2 tablespoons almonds

Instructions

In a small pot, bring the cherries and 3 tablespoons of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low, then let soften, stirring occasionally.
While the cherries are cooking, add the millet, milk, and honey to a small pot and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, covered, stirring occasionally, until millet porridge reaches desired texture.
Divide the millet porridge between two bowls, then top with cherry compote and almonds.
