COCONUT CARAMELS
When I had an abundance of coconut milk, I came up with the idea of using it to flavor homemade caramels. They're always among the first of my Christmas candies to disappear.-Wendy Rusch, Trego, Wisconsin

COCONUT CARAMELS
Making your own candy may seem daunting, but time and attention are all you need. This recipe calls for two sugars: granulated, which provides the base for your caramel, and an inverted sugar, corn syrup, which stabilizes and keeps the caramel from crystalizing. The line between soft-chewy and hard candy is a delicate one, so a candy thermometer is recommended for precision. Ginger and cardamom will add a nice zing, but lean into other warm spices, such as cinnamon, black pepper or chili powder, if that's what you have on hand. A final coat of toasted, finely shredded coconut lends an almost buttery crunch, and prevents the pieces from sticking. Wrap up individually if you have the time: These are made for sharing and can be frozen for up to a month.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut flakes in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, and toast until light golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Brush an 8-inch baking dish generously with coconut oil or coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle about 3 to 4 tablespoons of toasted coconut in an even layer on the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
- In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the coconut cream, sugar, corn syrup and sea salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil, stirring frequently especially toward the end, until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees and caramel is a light golden brown and thickened, about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the ginger and cardamom.
- Pour the caramel into the prepared pan. Once the caramel stops bubbling and the surface forms a thin skin, about 3 minutes, sprinkle another 4 tablespoons toasted coconut across the surface. Allow to cool at room temperature and set completely, about 2 hours.
- Run a spatula around the sides of the baking dish, loosen and lift the caramel, and move onto a board or clean surface.
- Slice the caramel into 8 (1-inch-wide) strips, then across into 1/2-inch pieces, so you have about 72 caramels. Roll the sides of each piece in more toasted coconut. Wrap as individual sweets using 4- to 5-inch squares of parchment, wax paper, or cellophane, or use store-bought candy wrappers, twisting the ends to seal. Store at room temperature in a cool dry place. Caramels will keep stored at room temp for up to 7 days or frozen after wrapping for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Butter or oil a 30 x 25cm baking tin, at least 5cm deep, and line with baking parchment.
- Put the dates in a heatproof bowl. In a small pan, bring the rum and 300ml water to the boil, then pour over the dates. Stir, then cover and leave to soak for 20 mins. Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
- Put the suet and sugar in a large bowl and stir to combine. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mixed spice, then sift in the flour and bicarb, folding these into the mixture until nearly combined. Add the dates with their liquor and mix to combine.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 40 mins, or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging.
- Meanwhile, to make the caramel, tip the coconut milk into a heavy-based non-stick saucepan and whisk until smooth. Bring to the boil over a high heat and boil rapidly, stirring occasionally, for about 40 mins until reduced and starting to thicken. Sprinkle in the sugar and whisk well. (Reheat before serving if necessary.)
- Once the pudding is cooked, remove from the oven and leave to stand for 5 mins. Cut into squares and serve warm, topped with the hot coconut caramel and sprinkled with toasted coconut flakes.
