Ingredients

    1. 1/2 lb dried cracked corn
    2. 8 3/4 cups milk
    3. 2 sticks cinnamon
    4. 3 ounces raisins
    5. 1 orange rind, grated
    6. 2 fresh lemon rind, grated
    7. 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
    8. 2 cups sugar
    9. 8 cloves

Directions

  1. Carefully wash the morocho and soak overnight in at least twice as much water as there is corn.
  2. Drain the morocho and cook in a little water in a pressure cooker for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large saucepan place milk, citrus rinds and clove and bring to a boil. By this time the milk should be perfumed by the spices.
  4. Add morocho and cook at low heat for an hour (or as long as you can bear!). Finally, mix in sugar and vanilla. Serve hot.
