Ingredients

Instructions

1. Break the coconut open by tapping around its middle with the blunt side of a knife, catching the coconut water in a bowl, and set the water aside.
2. Heat the opened coconut in a microwave on high for 2 minutes, or bake it at 350°F / 180°C for 15 minutes, to make the flesh easy to separate.
3. Lift the flesh out of the shell with a small paring knife.
4. Shred the coconut on the small holes of a box grater or with a food processor's shredding setting.
5. Put the water and sugar in a non-stick pan on medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
6. Add the shredded coconut and stir well so it absorbs all the sugar water. Keep stirring for about 15 minutes until it turns golden brown.
7. Spread the coconut on a tray to cool.
