Method

Pour the milk into a small saucepan. Grind millet finely and stir into the milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes.

Stir in the cream, ½ the orange zest and sweetener to taste. Remove from heat and allow to thicken for 5 minutes. Rinse two small molds or bowls in cold water. Spoon in the mil­let mixture, spreading smoothly, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Quarter and pit the apricots. Simmer the apricots, apricot juice, dried cranberries and cin­namon stick on low heat for 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and a little sweetener and leave to cool.

Turn the puddings out on two plates. Garnish with apricots and remaining orange zest.
