Jamaican Coconut Drops - contributed by Rosemarie Gordon-Cole

tree. Like other tropical islands, we have lot's of them.
I guess it is for this very reason that coconut derived snacks are so popular here. One such snack is an old-time favourite (and mine too) is called coconut drops.

One awesome thing about cooking is the flexibility to add and subtract ingredients to suit your taste.
I have seen recipes
for coconut drops that include cider vinegar. If you want to jazz it

And this addition is a favorite with my grandfather, he likes when my mother adds some brandy to the mixture. Well, whatever you choose to add to your mixture, have fun and enjoy our Jamaican Coconut Drops.
