Instructions

Place the barley in a medium pot with the salt and lemon zest. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes. Remove the lemon zest. Add the currants and simmer for another 15 minutes, adding a little more water if needed, until the barley is soft. Stir in the sugar and cream.
Serve immediately with some extra sugar and cream on the side if desired.

Notes

Pearl barley has had the outer husk and bran removed enabling it to cook faster but providing less nutrition. If using pearl barley the cooking time is about 40 minutes.
