FERMENTY

Ingredients

1 cup cracked wheat

1/8 tsp. ground mace

1 quart milk

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

3/4 cup milk

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup heavy cream

2 egg yolks

1/2 tsp. salt

additional brown sugar

Directions

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil and add the wheat. Lower heat to simmer, cover, and continue to cook for 1/2 hour, or until, soft. Drain off all the water and add the milk, cream, salt, mace, cinnamon and brown sugar.

Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed (20 to 30 minutes).

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and slowly stir 1/2 cup of the wheat mixture into the yolks. Then stir the yolk mixture into the pot, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently.

Serve sprinkled with brown sugar.
