Easter Grits

These went over real well at the Sunrise service breakfast.  Best cooked in a flameproof casserole dish.

Ingredients: 

  •  2 quarts water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cups Quick Grits
  • 1/4 cup almond butter
  • 2 tbsp cane sugar

Method:

Salt the water and set to boil.  Mix  grits with sugar and almond butter, working it until the granules flow loosely.  When the water is rapidly boiling, stir in the grits a spoonful at a time, letting the water come to a boil in between spoonfuls.  Keep the grits and water well stirred to prevent clumping.  When all the grits mixture has been added, reduce the heat to low, and cover.  Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thoroughly softened.  

Serve immediately.  To keep, pour into a flat tray and let set in the refrigerator.  Set grits can be cut into chunks and fried, or eaten cold.

Serves 16.
