Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge

Cornmeal porridge is the ultimate Jamaican comfort breakfast, a thick and creamy bowl of golden warmth that fuels the start of many a Jamaican morning. Fine cornmeal is slowly simmered with coconut milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until it reaches a velvety consistency, then enriched with sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. It is the kind of dish that feels like a warm embrace.
