On Saturday, 7/13/13 I posted a picture on our Facebook page with this question, "When last have you had a slice of this? Delectable Jamaican Potato Pudding?"

In a short while it received over 100 likes, 19 shares plus a whole bunch of comments.

These included, "Can I have that?", "Would do with a piece right now?", "Love it..but can't find no good bakers..its either too dry, no have no flavor or something..always a let down..need to go home for the real thing".

But the most popular comments though were those from people asking where can they find the recipe.

Well here it is!

This is the one- with cornmeal, but I actually extracted it from Grace Kitchens so this one should be really good.

Here you go! Enjoy!

by: Optimal Popsicle

I hav made this recipe half a dozen times, the family loves to smell it as they walk in the door.

I skip the flour and add an extra half cup of corn meal, cuz gluten is my nemesis. No worries as to consistency.

I butcher a fresh pumpkin every year. To substitute home cooked pumpkin [not canned, yuck] omit all water, add 1.5 extra cans of coconut milk. Lemon rind instead of lime, and a half tsp of cardamon.

Oh, love it, love it.

I think the person that gave the short description on the top on how to make the coconut milk topping. I think they were very experienced and knew exactly what they're doing

by: Elaine

Much nicer without cornmeal. Cornmeal pudding is cornmeal pudding. Sweet potato pudding is sweet potato pudding. Mixing both! no! no, no!!!!

to get the soft top you have to bake with heat on top. not sure if you will get the same results as doing it on a coal stove that's the way my granny did it delicious.
