    Yewande Komolafe grew up buying coconut caramels from the street vendors of Lagos. In this recipe, adapted from one she got from her mom, soft, chewy caramel is rolled in toasted coconut flakes for a contrast between textures, and ginger and cardamom add warming spices to the rich sweetness. Follow along as she shows us how to make it at home.

      Graham, old dad jokes went out decades ago.
      Go make some
      Chicken. Pot. Pie, ok?
      ... or not, get back to your old, non-pot, boozing self, aka reality? How many decades have you been arresting your brain and/or mental facilities?
      Too many people like you trying to promote their own YT channels on the coattails of other, more successful YT channels. Ugh.
      Thought you were cute w your jokes many months ago.
      Lately? 💤😴💤
      At least have the class to bring something that closely resembles something closely related to content of comments like the rest if us, ok?
      It's easy to coattail.
      It's far more difficult to be original than to tell old dad food jokes.
      Get it?
      Got it?
      Good...
      Hope so, for your sake.
      Stay safe and well.
      Qualified for DOPE way back in Y2K (horrific medical issues and in hospital for months at a time, yet another 30 days in a SNF, aka Nursing Home/Skilled Nursing Facilities for yet another 30 days, amongst many other med issues).
      Might be a reason why they call it DOPE, right?
      Something to do w the Grey matter between the eustachian tubes, and how it kills nerve cells?
      Google it, when you find a few moments of sobriety, aka, non-doped-up brain. Say... 90 days clean and sober?
      Hate to see a good man whose brain is arrested in time go downward into the drug-infused spiral.
      Google it. It applies both to Pot and Booze.
      Watched a dear loved one go through it, for many years.
      Praying for a better outcome for you and yours.
      Truly. ⚘🙏❤🙏⚘

    Do you really need the corn sirup? Hard to come by where I live. Could I substitute for something else?

    Will it still work without the corn syrup? It’s not something I generally have in my house.

  • @JudyCZ
    @JudyCZ 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What would happen if I skipped the corn syrup? It can be bought in my country but it's not an ingredient that we're used to so I'm not sure it's worth to buy it just for this recipe. Because I *really* want to make these, make no mistake there.

    • @DW-dp1kv
      @DW-dp1kv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The corn syrup prevents crystalization when making candy, especially when you want a smooth not grainy texture like in caramels. Lyle's golden syrup would work the same way.

  • @laurenbray8314

      Agreed. Condè Nast is the parent corp of several subsidiary corporations. We used to reference it when sailing on/around our friends' Yachts from Puget Sound/Seattle to off the West Coast and between Mazatland and PV.
      We reciprocated by bringing a few bags of freshly caught seafood (Salmon, Crab, fresh veg, etc.) from Seattle's Pike Place Market Seafood (the flying fish) where I was a Paralegal for 31 years, and hosting them at Mt. Bachelor and Whistler for skiing, Port Townsend Jazz Festivals, our Season's tickets at The Fifth Avenue Theatre in Seattle for CATS, The Phantom (Michael Crawford and Sarah Brighrman, who is the former wife of Andrew Lloyd Webber), Showboat, etc.
      Sir (annointed by the Queen herself) Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote The Phantom for Sarah's vocal range, btw.
      Great recipes. Global travel.
      Love it!
      Stay safe and well, to you and yours, from somewhere near Seattle and around the World.

      What mistakes are those? In my view, NYT Cooking should seek to overtake and eliminate Bon Appetite, with a diverse cast of presenters, overall great content, and delicious recipes. And I hope NYT Cooking succeeds.

      @MIG106 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      No. Please, let us not push them into this space. Personality is important - and I for one love who NYT has and continued to get - but they need to keep the focus on the actual food and recipes, not "shows"/series. NYT Cooking already has a niche - food. Not entertainment. I love the entertainment and shows, too, but someone else can step into that space. Sohla is with Babish now (which is awesome). Let's let them shine.

      Golden Syrup in the UK/EU will do it. You can basically use any Inverted Sugar Syrup, based on your regional equivalent. It helps a lot with preventing the caramel sugars from crystallising.

      @@christinabrugger7058 Molasses isn't an invert sugar, it's the leftovers of sugar refinement, so it'll ruin the caramel. Honey also won't work, nor will Maple or Agave.
      It needs to be a sugar that is gently heated until the Glucose breaks down into Sucrose. I sadly don't know what options are available off the shelf in Austria in order to help you with it, but it definitely isn't a matter of just using any sweet syrup you can find. It *must* be Sucrose-based invert sugar syrup.
