Ginger, Spice, & Everything Nice Oatmeal

What to do, when you have a lot of dried fruit in your pantry? Make oatmeal! I like the way this recipe turned out. It’s the right amount of sweetness, from the dried fruit. It doesn’t need additional sweetener. The warm spices balance the ginger. This is a new breakfast favorite. 

Here’s a tip: if you want the creamiest oatmeal, soak the oats overnight. The fruit and oats are hydrated.
