Ingredients

1 1/2 cups wheat berries
4 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cups poppy seed
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup raisins
2/3 cup dry apricots
2/3 cup slivered almonds
1/8 tsp salt

Steps

Soak the wheat berries in enough water to cover them for 2 hours, then drain them.
Simmer the wheat berries with 4 cups milk and the salt in a large pot over low heat for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Simmer the poppy seeds in the remaining milk in a small saucepan over low heat for 20 minutes, then cool slightly.
Stir the poppy mixture, honey, raisins, apricots, and almonds into the cooked wheat berries.
Rest the kutia for 35 minutes so the grains absorb the milk and flavors.
