Polenta image

To make the "candy"; that my sister and I loved, use a stainless-steel pot with a copper bottom. After you have removed the cooked polenta, the inside of the pan will be coated with mush. Put it over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes and gently peel the crust that forms away from the sides of the pan. "Only a devoted mother will do this," says mine.

Time 1h

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 quarts cold water

Steps:

  • In a 3-quart pot, preferably stainless steel with a copper bottom, add the cornmeal, salt and cold water. 2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir the polenta occasionally, until it begins to pull away from the pot, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The polenta should hold its shape when turned out onto a platter.
