1/2 cup steel cut oats
1/2 cup pearl barley
4 1/2 cups water OR 2 cups apple juice and 2 1/2 cups water
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup dried fruit
spices (cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg)
The original recipe calls for using a 2-quart slow cooker, but I only have a 6-quart, so I just plopped a smaller casserole dish into the slowcooker. Voila. Smaller slowcooker.
Grease inside of stoneware or casserole dish. Add all ingredients into dish. Stir. Cover and cook overnight for 8 hours. Stir once or twice while cooking. If you have a newborn, like I do, getting up once or twice at night to stir shouldn't be a problem.
Review - I ate WAY too much of this oatmeal! It was so good. I'd never made steel cut oats before. The texture is wonderful. I chose raisins as my dried fruit, because it's all I had on hand, but I'd like to experiment with other fruits (cherries, cranberries, etc.).

Second Review - I've made this several times now with different seasonings and dried fruits. My favorite has been dried apricots, with all spice and cinnamon and topped off with a little honey and soy milk.
