GINNY'S GRITS

Ginny Pittendreigh


This recipe came from my wife, Ginny, even though I’m the one who normally cooks it. According to my son, one should be careful!  You can burn your mouth badly if you start eating as soon as I finish cooking it. Let it cool just a bit!






Use only yellow grits. White corn makes white grits, and yellow corn makes yellow grits, but there is more to it than that.  Grits made from yellow grits will have a slight difference in flavor, adding a bit of sweetness.

Plus, the yellow grits just look so much better in a world full of white grits.


Bring water to a boil and add grits. Then set pot aside, off the heat, and add the cheese.  Cheddar or American Cheese will do well.

Keep the pot off the heat, with a lid on, letting the water continue to steam away until the grits have reached the desired consistency.

Stir occasionally.
