Author Notes

Our family has been making a variation of this barley porridge for years. We first had it at a family friend’s house and it has now become a staple for simple hearty breakfasts. This version is perfect for summer’s peaches. In the winter, you can add apples or dried fruit before cooking overnight. This recipe is for 2 large or 3 small portions. It scales up easy to feed a crowd. The peaches and cream porridge is creamy, sweet and is a hearty way to start your day. —Caitlin Tallar
