MORGAN'S BREAKFAST POLENTA

Morgan's Breakfast Polenta image

This was my first attempt at polenta. I like it, but it is my mother Sandie who truly loves it. We always eat it with homemade blackberry jam on the weekends. You can substitute your favorite jam. Top with sweetened sour cream or creme fraiche.
