TRINIDAD TOOLUM



Trinidad Toolum image

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.

1 cup molasses
6 inches dried orange peel, broken into bits

TOOLUM



Toolum image

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....

TRINIDAD PELAU

Pelau is a stew from Trinidad made with either beef or chicken. The unique flavor comes from searing the meat in caramelized sugar then simmering with rice, coconut milk, and pigeon peas. Serve accompanied by slices of tomato, avocadoes, or cucumber.
