Pineapple/Coconut Logs

Unforgettable: a coconut cookbook, including Fiji dishes, 2004 Three Loose Coconuts 

“He who plants a coconut tree plants food and drink, vessels and clothing, a habitation for himself and a heritage for his children” South Seas proverb

Coconut logs

1 ½ cups desiccated coconut; 2 ½ cups soya milk powder (I used skim milk powder); 2 cups various dried fruits (I included some dried pineapple in the mix); 6 tspn honey; 1 tsp vanilla essence

With these amounts I made 2 delicious logs about 20cm long and 5cm in diameter, Anne

Method:

1 Place mixed fruit in a blender and process.

2 In a separate bowl, mix desiccated coconut and soya milk powder.

3 Gradually add blended fruit mix and rub together.

4 Add honey. Mix well.

5 Roll into a lg, roll in (extra) desiccated coconut, refrigerate.

6 Once hardened, cut into slices.
