Caramels, Intermission: Caramels for Obama

This morning, I am going to attempt Obama Caramels. Ingredients will include coconut milk, palm sugar, a mix of spices (ginger, star anise, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, a bay leaf). Some spices will soak in the boiling cream, some will go straight into the sugar mixture.

The trick will be whether coconut milk mixed with heavy cream will work. It changes the protein to sugar ratio, and I don't really know what that will do.

I thought of this recipe while in the shower. Make of that what you will.

In the meantime, I keep putting Santogold, L.E.S. Artistes, on repeat and dancing around my apartment when I'm not checking the candy thermometer. It works well for this recipe. I think she sounds like Martha Davis, from way back before you were born, kids.
