Irish Oatmeal - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup brandy
1 cup raisins
8 tablespoons cream
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup fresh fruit (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

Preparation

In a saucepan, heat corn syrup and brandy over medium heat; bring to a simmer.
Add raisins and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
Set aside to cool (I prepare the raisin-brandy sauce ahead of time, like the night before, to let the raisins soak up the brandy).
In a saucepan, add water and salt; bring to a boil.
Add butter and oats.
Lower heat and simmer until oats are tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
Place 2 tablespoons of cream and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of drained raisins in 4 bowls.
Add steaming cooked oats and top with fresh berries.
Each person stirs their bowl to enjoy the hidden surprise waiting underneath.
