Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 February 1915 — Cocoanut Candy. [ARTICLE]

Cocoanut Candy.

Remove the shell from a half a cocoanut and shred or shave it with a silver knife. Spread it on dishes in the open door of an oven until It is soft and elastic. Dessicated cocoanut can be used instead, but the fresh sort is better. Then boil a cupful of molasses and a cupful of sugar, brown or white, a teaspoonful of vinegar and a tablespoonful of butter. When this is cooked enough so that it is brittle when dropped in cold water add the warmed cocoanut and pour into buttered dishes. Mark into squares when it is thick but before it is cold.
