Ingredients
Cooking Directions
Make the grits by boiling the water in a large saucepan or the top of a double-boiler
(the double boiler insures against scorching). Slowly add the grits by sifting them through one hand while whisking with the other. Cover the pan and simmer on a low heat for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Add half and half, cheese and butter, sage and pumpkin and stir well. Continue cooking if grits are undercooked or watery. When they are "just right" season to taste with nutmeg, salt, and white pepper. Set aside, but keep warm until serving.
