Blue Draws is one of my Jamaican desserts. While growing up in the country (Clarendon) I remember my mother making  blue draws on special occasions.  The banana leaf give it a really nice flavor. If banana leaves are not available you can  use parchment paper or aluminum foil. Blue Draws is also known as tie-a-leaf or Dukunu (Duckunoo or duckanoo). No one knows the origins of the name blue draws.
