Creamy Brown Sugar Grits

I have made this for breakfast for the past few days and realized I should share the recipe.  I know that the picture doesn't look great again, but I'm not sure how to make grits pretty.  So here's the recipe, you can adjust it to how sweet you like it.  I like mine pretty sweet. 

1/2 c. water
1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c. grits
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. light cream

                                                                                (Creamy Brown Sugar Grits with Apricot Preserves)

In a sauce pan on the stove combine the milk, water and salt.  Bring to a boil and add the grits, reduce the heat and simmer, covered for 10 to 15 minutes.  You can also cook it to your desired thickness, some people like it more like soup, I like mine more like pudding.  When it is close to done, add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved.  Remove from the heat and pour in the cream.  Serve warm or cold, enjoy! 
  You can also mix in nuts (walnuts or almonds would be great), fruit (peaches or raspberries or blueberries, etc) or jelly/preserves (peach or strawberry or blackberry).
