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.

- 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.

TOOLUM
Another find from CaribSeek recipes...posting here for ZWT5.by Dave DeWitt and Mary Jane Wilan In the early part of the twentieth century, sweet vendors would pound the streets of towns and villages in T&T, selling candies by means of a spinning wheel. For a penny, a customer spun the wheel and received the number candies indicated when the wheel stopped--up to fifty. Toolum, one of the earliest T&T candies, was undoubtedly supplied by such vendors. Please note cooking time is a guess....
