Tameletjie
A tameletjie is a homemade toffee confection which features prominently within the Afrikaner and Malay cultures of South Africa. The sweet is made from sugar and water which has been boiled until caramelized and then rested to cool to form a hard sweet. There are many variations to the sweet attained by adding almonds, pine nuts or coconut to the recipe.
Tameletjie is sometimes made by dads for their children on special occasions.
== Origin ==
The tameletjie is one of the oldest confections in South Africa. It originated as a result of importing sugar cane from China and the East and West Indian islands.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leipoldt, C.L. 1963. Polfyntjies vir die proe. Kaapstad: Tafelberg Uitgewers )〕 The Malay settlers in the Cape were the first to popularise and add different ingredients to the recipe such as pine nuts, which were readily available due the vast vegetation of pine trees in the Cape. Although sugar was a relatively expensive commodity, the tameletjie was the only 'sweet' settlers had, or could make so it became common. The Malays were known for selling food in the streets of Cape Town, and so the tameletjie become a popular treat among Europeans and other settlers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gerber, H. 1959. Traditional cookery of the Cape Malays. Amsterdam: Balkema )〕
As the sweet became more popular it was adopted in different cultures which resulted in variations of the tameletjie. It is popular in different cultures and has a history unlike the sweets found in stores today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leipoldt, C.L. 1963. Polfyntjies vir die proe. Kaapstad: Tafelberg Uitgewers )〕 Today sweets are mass-produced but the tameletjie is not found commercially, rather sold at schools or church fairs. The tameletjie is part of many South Africans' family history and childhood memories.
