Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oatmeal:

- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency.
2. Add Flavor:
- While the oatmeal is simmering, stir in the 1/4 tsp of ground nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
3. Mix in Dried Cranberries:
- After the oatmeal has finished cooking, stir in the 1 tbsp of dried cranberries. These will add a chewy texture and a hint of tartness.
4. Prepare the Cherries and Pistachios:
- Pit and dice the 2 cherries.
- Shell and chop 2 tbsp of pistachio nuts.
5. Combine and Serve:
- Transfer the cooked oatmeal to a serving bowl.

Tips:

- Use fresh cherries if they are in season; otherwise, frozen cherries can be a great substitute.

- Consider using unsweetened dried cranberries to reduce added sugars.

- Enhance the flavor by toasting the pistachios lightly before adding them to the oatmeal.

- For a creamier texture, cook the oatmeal in milk or a dairy-free alternative instead of water.

- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
