How to Make It
Step 1
Bring the milk and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the amaranth, reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the amaranth is tender.
Step 2
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350º. Place the sliced almonds on a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for five minutes, or until just beginning to brown. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 3
Remove the amaranth from the heat and stir in the butter and maple syrup. Divide between serving bowls and top with almonds, cranberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
