Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 (8 ounce) cans fruit cocktail in heavy syrup
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (imitation)
• 4 dashes ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 (3 ounce) envelopes instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal or 2 cups kashi golean cereal

Recipe

• 1 mix all ingredients except for instant oatmeal or kashi go lean crunch cereal into a 9x9 microwave safe glass casserole dish and microwave for 15 minutes stirring every 5 minutes.
• 2 take out of microwave after 15 minutes and let stand for a few moments until slightly cooled and beginning to thicken, then top with your choice of kashi go lean crunch cereal or instant oatmeal.
• 3 (just a note - if you choose the oatmeal you may wish to brown it in the oven on broil for a few moments so that it doesn't get instantly soggy - to do this, mix it with some butter and pour onto top of fruit mixture,then put into oven on middle rack and check on regularly until it crisps up nice and golden brown.
• 4 the kashi is nice if you wish to serve it right away (kashi doesn't re-microwave very nicely so only use if you are eating that same night or re-heat in the oven the next day for a hot dish).
• 5 add cream or milk and enjoy!
