This recipe is just so scrumptious. Never thought I could have that sweet, soft and jellied top old fashion cornmeal pudding that I'd use to as a child. Thanks really enjoyed it.

As a Jamaican woman who moved to the US as a teenager alot of old recipes are missing from my collection. I have introduced my children to the island culture and was pleased to be able to find recipes I have been needing like my favorite Cornmeal pudding. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
