Cornmeal Porridge

1 cup Yellow Cornmeal (coarse or fine)

4 cups Water

¼ cup Half and Half (or Milk)

½ cup Sweetened Condensed Milk

2 tbsp. Sugar

¼ tsp. Nutmeg (ground)

¼ tsp. Cinnamon (ground)

Vanilla Flavoring (2 drops)

Add cornmeal to a bowl, and then pour enough water into the bowl to cover the cornmeal. Use a fork to mix the cornmeal in the bowl to let the water and cornmeal mix loose and watery.

Bring the 4 cups of water to boil in a saucepan. Turn the heat to medium.

Slowly pour the water and cornmeal into the saucepan while stirring with a fork. You will have to stir the mix continuously for about 3 minutes. Make figure eight patterns if you like; this will stop the cornmeal from forming lumps. Be careful from this point on.

The porridge will splash and burn your hand if the heat is too high. Turn the fire down even more if the splashes from the pot become large. Cover the pot and let simmer for about twenty minutes. Occasionally stiring the mixture in the pot.

Turn off the fire but do not remove the pot from the stove. Now add all the ingredients, except the nutmeg. Stir to sweeten this Jamaican porridge and then taste it. Add more ingredients of your choice to get the desired taste. Serve in small soup bowls and sprinkle with ground nutmeg.

All right, if you are not able to digest milk you could substitute soymilk for regular milk in this Jamaican porridge.

You need to buy the dry pack corn. Wash it off and let it boil until soft, while it is boiling add dried cinnamon leaf or powder cinnamon plus a likkle salt (and mi no mean salt up di corn) make sure there is adequate amount of water. When the corn is almost soft you need to add a likke flour and water together (this should stay liquid) and stir slowly into pot this will add thickness to the mix. Boil for a good 10 mins or until corn is soft to suite . You will then add a likkle vanilla, sweeten with condensed milk grate some nutmeg....cool and then serve.

Sorry I add no measurments!!!
