I love hotwater cornbread! The first time I made it was with my father about 5-6 years ago. I wanted to follow the recipe but I did not have any shortening. So I used 2 TBSP of Butter instead, came out perfect. I made green beans and smoked turkey with my slow cooker, my dinner was yum. Check out my reviews for Slow cooker green beans. Try them with the hotwater cornbread!

I used smoked turkey instead of ham as well as a clove of garlic. I love this recipe, very good. The only thing I did was.... I was not home in time to add my potatoes! dang it! oh well next time. I am just going to make some hot water cornbread and enjoy me smoked turkey and beans!

I made this punch for Thanksgiving! It was a hit! I only used 1 CUP OF SUGAR as some of the other persons suggested. It was so good that I kept 1/2 of portion for myself and took it back home with me! I cannot wait to have my friends over the just add the 7UP. Also if you can find lemons around this time that are inexpensive, they are better than the lemon juice in the bottle. Very yummy punch! BUT RECIPE LOVERS BEWARE! For some of us that have vegetarians in our family, let them know that it was made from Jell-o, which is an animal protien. the next time I make it for my vegetarian friends I may go searching for an Jello- alternative.
