Just came across this recipe for mush (in an article about food used by travelers on the Oregon trail). My Nanny used to fix this for our breakfast, and I loved it! May have to try it again. Never had it with raisins, but may have to try it now! A typical breakfast on the trail, cornmeal mush 1 cup cornmeal 4 cups boiling water 1 tablespoon lard or butter 1 teaspoon salt dried currents (raisins) optional Put currents into water and bring to a boil. Sprinkle cornmeal into the boiling water stirring constantly, adding butter and salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, then portion into bowls. Can be topped with milk, butter, sugar or molasses.
