I happened to go into Winn/Dixie one day just because I was in a hurry. I spied white coconuts. Now if you're from one of the islands, you know immediately that a white outer shell on a coconut, means it is a young coconut...so it is loaded with lovely water and the meat itself is a consistency of between soft and meduim hard and is delicious....

I immediately thought coconut candy. I pieced the nuts and drained out 2 1/4 pints of water. I then wrapped each one in a towel and busted them on the cement floor. Once they are busted you can just scoop out the meat with a butter knife. I chopped the nuts and cooked them for an hour or so in brown sugar and water and ginger. I didn't put enough sugar in so they didn't get hard. I then just scooped them into a bowl and put them in the frig. I made coconut cookies and have plenty left to make a pie or more cookies etc.
