Coconut

[Topgumby]

I impulse bought a coconut today. No real reason.

I plan on using some of the meat to make Coconut extract by soaking a couple of ounces of the shredded meat in four ounces of Vodka for a week.

Any favorite coconut recipes out there? In the past, I've made coconut macaroons, coconut rice pudding, coconut cream pie, conga bars with coconut, and coconut poke cake.

Gee, I don't know, but it looks like you've got plenty of coconut recipes already. Maybe you should try making your own coconut pre-shave oil.

I have never used coconut extract but I have used coconut milk or cream in place of water when making rice. Add salt, white pepper, one bay leaf and a habanero pepper, don't open the pepper you want the flavor and not the heat.

A Rendang Pedis might be a good idea, with your own home made santen?

5 helai salam,

Empty the water out of a coconut without braking the shell and leave th e meat surrounding the inner shell, fill with rum and leave for a few days for a nice rum drink.

Question: How does the water gets inside the coconuT?

I have no idea what that is, but it looks droolicious.
