📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Corn pone is a traditional bake of Grenada and the Caribbean islands: cornmeal is mixed with grated pumpkin, coconut, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon and baked until moist. True to the Spice Isle, it's wonderfully fragrant. It's made for celebrations and Sunday treats.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Sunday afternoon in a Grenadian home, a golden cake baked on a tray is cut into squares as the scent of nutmeg drifts by.
