Finally I got the recipe for coconut candy from Vichelle.

Ingredients

• 3 cups finely grated coconut
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tsp butter
• colouring
• vanilla essence

Method

1. In a wide saucepan put the grated coconut, sugar, milk and salt. Mix well with a wooden spoon.
2. Place pan on low heat and allow to cook without stirring. When the sugar has dissolved, add the butter, red colouring and vanilla essence. Stir gently, occasionally.
3. When the mixture thickens, increase heat a little and stir continuously to prevent burning. When the mixture forms a mass and the candy begins to crystalise on the sides of the pan, take the pan off the heat.
4. Transfer the candy into a greased plate/tray. Press the candy down gently and when it cools slightly, cut into diamond or any other shape, but do not separate until the candy has hardened properly.

Hope that this is not going to be too fattening for me after my great effort of loosing some weight from the malignant Mesothelioma treatment
