I've seen it used for various things...  put at the bottom of the bowl in a 
Steamed Syrup pudding before cooking it, used warm as a sauce over a steamed 
pudding, stirred into porridge, used in "coconut tarts" (basically a 
shortcrust pastry shell with shredded coconut, syrup, a little cinnamon, and 
bake it).   Also I wouldn't rule it out as an ingredient in some of the 
heavier fruit cakes although unfortunately I don't have a specific recipe to 
hand to back that :-(
