How do you make a jamaican sweet potato pone?

Answer 1

JAMAICAN SWEET POTATO PONE

2 lbs. sweet potatoes (uncooked)

1/2 lb. brown sugar

1 tsp. powdered cinnamon

1 tbsp. butter

1 tsp. grated ginger

2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. grated nutmeg

1/4 lb. raisins

1 large coconut, grated (required 3 1/2 cups coconut milk)

1 qt. warm water

Add cornmeal as needed

Finely Grate sweet potatoes. Express the milk from the grated coconut by adding 2 cups warm water at a time and squeezing the milk through a fine strainer until you have obtained the required 3 1/2 cups coconut milk (Save the coconut trash).

Combine coconut milk and sugar, mix until sugar is almost dissolved. Add vanilla and 1 tablespoon butter, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, raisins, and grated potato. Then add cornmeal and coconut trash gradually. Pour all into a greased pyrex or other baking dish and bake in a moderate oven at 375 degrees until the pudding is cooked, approximately 1 hour.

Note: It is best to use a large coconut but if not procurable, then use two tins of coconut milk. The use of the coconut trash is optional and only adds more fiber to the pudding.
