TRINIDAD TOOLUM
This is a traditional Trinidadian sweet that used to be popular with children. It's still available from select stores but it's now more of a specialty item. Haven't made this in years but now that I have a child it's time to dust off this recipe.

Steps:
- Cook sugar in a heavy aluminum or iron pot and stir until it liquefies.
- Mix the shredded coconut in with the sugar and stir until well blended.
- Stir occasionally until liquid reddens.
- Add molasses, dried orange peel and ginger.
- Stir to blend and when the mixture starts to rise and fall, stir briskly and keep stirring until it leaves the side of the pot.
- Remove from the heat and drop by table spoon onto a lightly greased tray or dish.
- Shape into balls (about the size of table tennis balls).
- Remove when firm and store in airtight containers.
- * Serving size is a wild guess as I don't remember how much this recipe produces! Same with cooking time.
