Place a saucepan on the stove top. Fetch a whisk, wooden spoon and a bowl. Add water to saucepan. Add salt. Bring water to a boil. Whisk Cornmeal into boiling water. Bring mixture to a slow boil, and cook until thickened. Lower the heat. Switch to the wooden spoon. Continue cooking until mixture thickens. Cook the mush over low heat at just a simmer. Be careful as the mush spatters and can burn tender skin. Spoon Cornmeal mush into a bowl while hot. Serve with maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar.
