Ingredients:

1 coconut (or 250g of grated coconut flesh)
200g of sugar
500ml of water
1 vanilla pod
finely-grated zest of 1 lime
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp of freshly-grated nutmeg

Method:

Break open the coconut and collect the white meat.

Be sure to remove the brown outer surface of the meat with a paring knife.

Process the pulp in a blender or grate using the larger holes of the grater.

Combine the water and coconut pulp in a saucepan with the split vanilla pod, sugar, grated lime zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring to a boil and cook for an hour to thicken.

Take off the heat, spoon into jars that have been sterilized and warmed in the oven. Secure the lids then set aside to cool before storing in the refrigerator.
