Ingredients

  • 2 cups diced fresh coconut, from 2 to 3 fresh coconuts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 pound light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup water

Method

  • Put all the ingredients into a heavy-bottom saucepan, with just enough water so the coconut will cook.
  • Boil the mixture until it becomes very sticky, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and beat with a wooden spoon for a few minutes.
  • Then drop by the spoonful onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet to cool, about 30 minutes.
