Ingredients:

• 2 cups young coconut meat
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4-6 Tbsp water

Steps:

1. Cook coconut meat over medium heat.

 
2. Add 1/2 cup sugar and stir until it melts.

 
3. Add a very small amount of water about 4-6 tablespoons. Not too much because the meat will release its water as it cooks.

 
4. Continue to stir the mixture as it simmers, and until the water is starting to reduce.

5. Add the remaining sugar, if necessary. Taste the mixture and if you think it's too sweet, then 1/2 cup would just be enough.

 
6. Cook until it turns very thick.

 
7. Serve hot or cold. Best paired with bread.
