Preparation

Step 1

Rinse barley well and place in large saucepan with water, pear nectar, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes until barley is almost tender. Add cranberries and lemon juice and simmer for another 10-25 minutes until mixture is thick and barley is tender. Stir in walnuts and serve immediately. Serves 6.

This can be made and stored in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Each morning, for one serving, combine 1 cup of this mixture with a few tablespoons of milk or light cream. Microwave on 50% power for a minute or two until hot, then enjoy.
