Ingredients
- 3 cups cornmeal
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp spoon vanilla
- ½ cup raisins
- 8 cups coconut milk
- 2 tbsps melted butter
Method
1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl including raisins
2. Mix all liquids together included melted butter
3. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
4. Grease a baking tin large enough to hold butter and pour in the mixture
5. Bake the cornmeal pudding in an oven 350°F for 1 hour, or until done.
6. Pudding is done when the liquid dries out leaving a jelly like custard on top.
I7. If liquid on top is dried out just add some sweetened coconut milk or even water and use a wooden spoon to mixed it in on the top then leave to set and form a jelly.
Tip
If you use a coal stove with low fire and set the pudding to bake on it ,then use a piece of tin to cover the top( even a pot cover wider than the baking tin will do). Put a little of the live coals on top of the tin ;you will get a better tasting and texture cornmeal pudding.

This tasted wonderful. My children loved it. This pudding called for limited ingredients and it worked like magic. My children requested of me to make it before I leave the island.

8 cups sounds a bit much, is that a typo
