Toolum - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
5 cups grated coconut
2 tablespoons crushed dried orange peel
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
grated coconut, for topping

Preparation

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.
