      Yield: 6 servings
 
           Salt
      1 c  Wheat berries
    1/2 c  Toasted slivered almonds
    1/2 c  Walnut pieces
    1/4 c  Raisins
    1/4 c  Dried cranberries
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 ts Anise seeds
      1 ts Toasted sesame seeds
    1/4 c  Ground graham crackers (from
           - about 1 1/2 whole)
      2 tb Powdered sugar
  1 1/2 c  Lightly whipped unsweetened
           - heavy cream; to taste
 
  Bring a large pot of water to a full boil and salt
  lightly. Add the wheat berries, reduce the heat to a
  fast simmer and cook until the wheat berries are tender
  but still chewy, about 1 hour. Drain the wheat berries,
  rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking and
  drain again, shaking the strainer to remove as much
  water as possible.
  
  Lay a kitchen towel in the bottom of a jellyroll pan and
  distribute the wheat berries evenly across it. Lay
  another kitchen towel on top and set aside to let the
  wheat berries dry thoroughly, at least 1 hour to
  overnight. (The dish can be prepared to this point up to
  48 hours in advance; when the wheat berries are dry,
  refrigerate them in a tightly sealed plastic bag.)
  
  Transfer the wheat berries to a mixing bowl. Pulse the
  almonds and walnuts in a food processor to small pieces
  and add them to the wheat berries. Pulse the raisins and
  cranberries in a food processor too and add them to the
  wheat berries and nuts (if the raisins and cranberries
  stick together, break the clumps with your hands while
  stirring them into the wheat berry mixture). Season with
  the cinnamon, and anise and sesame seeds and mix well.
  
  Transfer the wheat berry mixture to a serving bowl,
  arranging it in a shallow dome. Sprinkle the graham
  cracker crumbs evenly over the top of the wheat berry
  mixture. Shake the powdered sugar through a strainer or
  sifter over the top to lightly cover the mixture.
  
  Serve with the whipped cream on the side.
