  • To serve: nuts and fresh fruit

  2. spelt-pruneporrsoak Soak this over night in warm water and a few grains of salt.
  3. spelt-pruneporrcook In the morning cook your spelt with about 2 cups of water, cinnamon and chopped prunes. Cook this until it becomes a creamy consistency.

Thank you for this recipe! I made this today, and it turned out delicious! I love that you grinded the kernels beforehand, I hadn’t thought of that, but this way spelt becomes so much more creamy and sweet! Thanks again!
