An ice cream that I just love is--melt jaggery,caramelise it a bit and dribble it on Vanilla icecream and put coconut shavings.It's to die for and attain Nitvana! When I drive to my Himalayan home during the sugarcane season--oh, you have to see the Higway. All unimaginable vehicles are loaded with sugarcanes-I mean soo loaded that you cannot even see either the vehicle or the driver!Kids run along trying to pull them out as freebies.I STOP to drink this golden hot liquid.Tou can smell this tantalising caramel aroma in the air.The bulls at some places still go around crushing the sugarcanes and the juice is poured into huge unimaginable sized woks and boiled.Lovingly the farmer pours into into small terracotta cups.It's soo earthy ,the warmth just envelops you. These are Jaggery stories from India!!nimi. Dear Eric,

The answer is: your local Indian or Mexican market (in Spanish it's known as panela). Don't have an Indian or Mexican market near you?
