Contributor: Raymond Patterson
Country: Jamaica
Ingredients:
2-3 c. cornmeal

Directions:
First you have to put water into a pot.
Let it boil for about 10 minutes. Then, pour the cornmeal into the boiling
water, constantly stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking and
stirring for about 6 minutes. Then, turn your stove down about ½ gauge,

Personal Passage:
This recipe became my favorite one.
My mother used to make it a day ahead. We would get it in the morning
before school. Not every day, but often enough to get hooked on it. So,
that’s why it is my
favorite.
