Ingredients:
-2 large coconuts, peel the black rind once you extract the coconut from the shell.
-Grate the meat on find grind
-Brown sugar
-Blackstrap Molasses
-A touch of vanilla beans or pure vanilla extract
Procedure:
Normally the coconut candy is made by boiling the shredded coconut in water and adding brown sugar and some blackstrap molasses. Once the mixture starts to bubble one cannot abandon the task of stirring and keeping a close watch on the pot. Sugar must continue to be added as the water evaporates and the oil in the coconut is rendered and mixes with the sugar.
