Apple Barley Pudding


Irish cuisine originated in the kitchens of the farmers of the past from good, wholesome food made with locally grown produce. Irish grain staples were barley, wheat, oats, and rye. Combine it with apples, another staple and you have a great irish favorite. It can also make a hearty breakfast for those cold winter months if served warm instead of chilled. Especially if you use yogurt in place of the cream, also making it a great low fat dessert. :d great either way. Posted for zaar world tour 05
