Thread Name: BS: Help! A SIMPLE Cornbread recipe please.
Subject: RE: BS: Help! A SIMPLE Cornbread recipe please.
One of our Jamaican friends use to make a desert that he called Jamaican Pone. Unfortunately he died without leaving his recipe. It was a desert pudding like dish made with corn meal, raisins, apple (I think), coconut, and spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice ?). It was cooked in sweet rum sauce and served with a large dollop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. He made it in either individual servings ("pone dumplins'") or as a casserole like spoon bread. I've searched everywhere looking for a recipe to no avail. My attenpts to duplicate it have been a miserable flop !! Does anyone have a clue where I might find the recipe ?
