OK, I don't actually use salt - but the site will not allow me to proceed unless I have 2 ingredients. So, for step one:
- Put your salt away.
- Place the coconut in an ungreased non-stick frypan. Roast over medium heat until nicely browned. This only takes a few minutes - be careful. Don't worry about toasting every flake. If you burn some, your butter will have a slightly charred flavor. Don't get me wrong - I still ate it when that happened. I'm just saying - yummier if you don't burn!
- Transfer the toasted coconut to your food processor or handy-dandy Thermomix. Now the fun begins. In the thermomix I mixed 20 seconds/speed 4.5 then scraped down. I continued this way for about a minute, scraping down after every 20 seconds. You want to go right past the powder stage, the paste stage and into the liquid stage. In a food processor you'll want to do the same thing, but it will take longer because a food processor is not as cool as a Thermomix.
- Just when you think you've wrecked it and made some sort of nasty brown coconut liquid - stop and pour the mixture into your waiting jar. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few hours, or even over night. It will solidify nicely.
- Tastes great on everything - especially the little spoon you're going to end up using every hour or so to see if it's "done" or not.

Although I am a US citizen, I have spent most of my adult life living outside of the States. I've raised my family all over the world - and I have to say that my four kids are pretty terrific!
I am always looking for recipes that only call for basic ingredients. Because I don't live in the US, I often can't find packages or this, or jars and cans of that, even certain spices can be tricky.
My favorite cookbooks are the New Joy of Cooking, and anything by Nigela Lawson.
My passions are cooking and eating - big surprise there.
I have no pet peeves, I don't keep any peeves around long enough to make them into pets.
I especially love baking, but I'm trying to get away from that - the carbs are starting to stick to my hips a little too easily.
I took a Sushi making course recently. It was a lot of fun; I now know that I need to GO OUT for Sushi, not make it myself.
