How to Make Cherry And Tangerine Oatmeal

  1. In a large non-metal bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup pitted and chopped fresh cherries, 1/4 cup finely grated tangerine zest (about 1 large tangerine), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of ground nutmeg.
  2. Pour in 2 cups cold milk (dairy or non-dairy). Stir well to combine.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 8-24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Once chilled, transfer the oatmeal mixture to a medium saucepan.
  5. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the oats have reached your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter until melted and incorporated.
  8. Serve immediately. For extra indulgence, top with a splash of warmed milk, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, or walnuts).
