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.

  • 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.

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....

Steps:

  • Melt the sugar in a pot under low heat, stirring constantly, and cook until it turns golden brown. Add the molasses, stirring constantly. Add the coconut, orange peel, and ginger, and reduce heat, still stirring. Cook until the mixture separates smoothly from the bottom and side of the pot.
  • Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool. Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto aluminum foil or a slightly oiled cookie sheet. Place grated coconut atop each little cone.
