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

Steps:

  • 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.

JAMAICAN COCONUT DROPS

This is an all time favorite of Jamaican's. Just about every Jamaican restaurant or store sell these. I decided to add them as Horderve's at a party and I was shocked to find only crumbs left. If you like coconut, you will love Coconut Drops.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c diced coconut
1 tsp vanilla
1 lb brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tsp powdered ginger (optional)
1/2 c water

Steps:

  • 1. Place 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of water to pot (a medium rice pot is what I use), bring to a boil. Combine all ingredients and add to boiling water. Boil for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until very sticky (almost like syrup).
  • 2. Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper or just use cooking spray. Take a serving spoon or ice cream scooper to yield one drop on a baking cookie sheet. Place 1 inch apart. Wait until it's cool and hard to eat. Enjoy!
