4 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. salt
1 c. molasses
1 tsp. grated orange peel
Vanilla ice cream (opt.)

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a deep 2 quart casserole. Heat milk and sugar in a saucepan over moderate heat until bubbles start to appear around the edges. Gradually stir in cornmeal and cook until smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat, stir in eggs, cinnamon, ginger, salt, molasses and orange peel. Mix thoroughly and pour into casserole. Bake, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours. Serve hot with ice cream. About 6 servings.
