Coconut Drops

• 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

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