INSTRUCTIONS
DIRECTIONS: Mix sugar and coconut milk and water in saucepan. Bring to
boil, and cook until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball when
dropped in cold water (240-F). Pour onto a wet platter, and let stand until
lukewarm. Add vanilla, and beat until thick and creamy. Knead until smooth.
Divide, and add a few drops of green coloring to half and red coloring to
other half. Sprinkle coconut on a cookie sheet. Dry in slow oven, 250-F,
about 15 minutes. Work half of coconut into each mixture. Heat each mixture
over boiling water until softened; drop from teaspoon on waxed paper, and
flatten slightly. Put a bit of cherry in the center of each. Let harden.
