Coconut preserves are a delightful treat that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a topping for desserts, pancakes, and more. If you've ever wondered how to make this delicious treat at home, you're in luck! In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of making coconut preserves from scratch. Let's get started!

What You'll Need:

  • 4 cups of fresh coconut meat (grated)
  • 2 cups of coconut water
  • 2 cups of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Step 1: Preparing the Coconut Meat

Start by grating the fresh coconut meat. You can do this manually using a grater or use a food processor to make the process faster and easier. Set aside the grated coconut meat for later use.

Step 2: Making the Coconut Syrup

In a large saucepan, combine the coconut water and granulated sugar. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 3: Adding the Coconut Meat

Once the syrup is simmering, add the grated coconut meat to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure all the coconut meat is coated in the syrup.

Step 4: Simmering and Stirring

Reduce the heat to low and let the coconut and syrup mixture simmer for about 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.

Step 5: Testing for Thickness

After 60 minutes, take a small amount of the mixture and place it on a plate to cool. If the mixture thickens and holds its shape, it is ready. If it is still runny, continue simmering for a few more minutes and test again until desired thickness is achieved.

Step 6: Adding the Vanilla Extract

Once the preserves have reached the desired thickness, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract to add a delicious hint of flavor.

Step 7: Storing the Coconut Preserves

Allow the coconut preserves to cool completely before transferring them to a clean, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Now that you know how to make your own coconut preserves, you can enjoy this sweet and tropical treat whenever you want. Whether you spread it on toast or use it as a topping, your homemade coconut preserves are sure to be a hit!
