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
- 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.
