Ingredients

Detailed Method of Preparation

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine grated coconut, sugar, and coconut milk.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to low.
  4. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and takes on a golden color.
  5. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt in the last few minutes of cooking.
  6. To test the jam’s readiness, drop a small amount on a cold plate. If it doesn't run and has a jam-like consistency, it's done.
  7. Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool slightly.
  8. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, seal, and let it cool at room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.

Tips for Culinary Success

  • Use freshly grated coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • Keep stirring the jam to prevent it from sticking or burning.
  • Adjust sugar according to your sweetness preference.
  • Sterilize the jars well to extend the jam’s shelf life.
