1- Bring water, salt, dried berries and cherries and hibiscus to a boil. Reduce heat and cook till berries soften. Not too long.

2- Add remaining ingredients, stirring well after each addition.

3- Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes, stirring as needed. If the oats are too wet, cook a while longer and/or let set a while before reheating to serve.

4- When done to your liking adjust for salt and sugar and serve in bowl with a dab of animal-free margarine on top.

5- Simple but sophisticated, just like the royals like it.
