Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh coconut meat (grated or finely shredded)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 180 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Dark or spiced rum
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare your fresh coconut by carefully cracking it open and extracting the white meat. Use a grater or food processor to finely shred 300 grams of coconut meat.
Step 2
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the grated coconut, granulated sugar, and water. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar and evenly coat the coconut.
Step 3
3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir frequently to prevent the sugar from burning.
Step 4
4. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 5
5. Add the lime juice, vanilla extract, dark or spiced rum, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to incorporate the flavors.
Step 6
6. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the preserve reaches a jam-like consistency. You can test by dragging a spoon across the bottom of the pan—if it leaves a trail, the preserve is ready.
Step 7
7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the preserve cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Step 8
8. Transfer the Coconut Rum Preserve to sterilized jars while still warm. Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
Step 9
9. Store the jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy on toast, pancakes, or as a topping for desserts!
