Coconut Drops

Name: Coconut Drops
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 12 servings
Cuisine: Caribbean
Ingredients: 2 cups Fresh grated coconut; 1 cup Brown sugar; 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated

A Jamaican street classic that needs only three pantry staples. Fresh coconut is boiled with brown sugar and ginger until the mixture thickens into a sticky, caramel-toned mass, then dropped by spoonfuls onto parchment to harden into chewy nuggets with a warm ginger kick. Every Kingston vendor has their ratio — this one leans sweet.
