How to Make Honey Harvest Quinoa

  1. Rinse 1 cup of quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 cup diced apple, 1/2 cup dried cranberries, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan.
  5. Continue to cook, covered, over low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the quinoa is cooked through.
  6. While the quinoa cooks, toast 1/4 cup pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant. Let cool completely, then coarsely chop.
  7. Once the quinoa is cooked, stir in 1/2 cup milk (any kind you prefer), 2 tablespoons honey, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Cook for another minute, or until the milk is heated through.
  9. Spoon the quinoa mixture into bowls. Top with the toasted pecans, 1 tablespoon of butter (optional), and a drizzle of extra honey and milk, if desired.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
