Peach Porridge Hot

Peach Porridge Hot
(tastes as good as)
Peach Porridge Cold.
Peach Porridge in the Pot, Nine Days Old
(is something I wouldn't recommend.)
Some like it Hot.
Some like it Cold.
Some like it in the Pot, Nine Days Old
(Can't imagine why!)

This rhyme has been adopted, almost verbatim (shameless!) from the original version I learned as a child. I do these things sometimes. I mean no harm and take no credit.

I do take credit for the recipe however!

Peach Porridge Hot:
1 cup oatmeal (I've used rolled oats cooked in water)
1 cup peeled, sliced peaches (I've used tinned peaches)

Cook the oatmeal.
Add sliced peaches.
Stir in a tablespoon or two of cream.
Sweeten with honey or brown sugar.
This one here is brown sugar.


Peach Porridge also tastes delicious cold. On a hot day, you can refrigerate this and eat it like cold pudding. The only alternation the recipe I would suggest is to sweeten the oatmeal whilst cooking it.
