In making bukayo, first, dissolve the corn syrup in a small amount of water in a carajay over low heat. Then, add the pulot-ipot that is previously strained through the cheesecloth so that the impurities and other extraneous materials be removed. Dissolve the potassium metabisulfite into a small amount of water and add it to the mixture. Boil the mixture to 115°C (239°F) stirring occasionally. Then add the grated coconut and cook until the mixture no longer sticks to the side of the carajay when scooped out. After cooking, spread the mixture on a wooden mold and let it cool. Cut into desired pieces and wrap individually, then store in tin containers.
