Recipe Introduction


St. Lucy's Sweetened Wheat Berries


List of Ingredients




Serves 4-6

1 cup wheat berries (available at Italian groceries)
2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
Grated peel of 1 lemon
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped candied fruit



Recipe



Place the wheat berries in a pot and cover with cold water plus 2 inches. Bring the water to the boil, cook for 10 minutes, turn off the heat, and let stand overnight.

Place the milk in a pot, add the sugar and grated lemon peel. Bring to the boil, add the drained wheat berries, and simmer very gently, stirring often, until all the milk is absorbed, about 30 minutes. Cool. Spoon onto a serving platter and add the honey, stir, and top with the candied fruits.
