Ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
4 cups boiling water
1 tablespoon lard or butter
1 teaspoon salt
dried currents (raisins)
Instructions:
Put currents into water and bring to a boil. Sprinkle cornmeal into the boiling water, stirring constantly. Add the butter and salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, then portion into bowls. Can be topped with milk, butter, sugar, or molasses.
Even though this were used by pioneers, it would be good for Civil War soldiers.
