"Fall is the customary time of year to break out this spicy traditional dessert. The cornmeal makes it textured pudding, not smooth like custard. Raisins are optional--for some reason, our family never included them. However, if you do use raisins, plump them in warm water for 5 minutes first. Not sure if this dish would work with nonfat milk. The very low baking temperature is not a misprint. Note: The defining main ingredients are cornmeal and molasses, neither of which are options as "Main Ingredient" categories."
