DIRECTIONS

  • Grind the flax seeds, 1/4 cup at a time, in a coffee grinder until very fine.
  • In a small, preferably non-stick, saucepan, place the ground flax and all other ingredients, except the nuts and fruit.
  • Simmer on low heat until hot and bubbling, stirring frequently. Add more water until it's the consistency that's most pleasing to you; I like it on the thin side.
  • Spoon into small bowls; top with nuts and fruit.
