A classic dessert from Bahia, doce de coco is made by simmering grated coconut with coconut milk and a small amount of sugar until thick. In this reduced-sugar version, reaching the right consistency requires careful attention to the cooking time and heat.
Combine the grated coconut, coconut milk, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick in a wide pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 15 minutes, until thickened and beginning to pull away from the sides of the pot.
Drop some preserves onto a cold plate and push it with your finger. If the surface wrinkles, it is ready; if not, cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the cinnamon stick and take the preserves off the heat. Let stand for 8 minutes; they will thicken a little more. Then transfer to sterilized jars.
To check the consistency, drop some preserves onto a cold plate and push it with your finger; it should wrinkle. If you jar it too early, the preserves will remain runny.
Şekeri tarifte yazan 3 yemek kaşığı yerine 2 kaşığa indirdim, kıvam testinde biraz daha uzun beklemem gerekti ama sonuçta güzel bağladı. Tadı istediğim kadar hafif tatlı çıktı, diyabetli annem için ideal oldu.
Şekeri 2 kaşığa indirmeniz güzel bir gözlem, kıvam testinin biraz uzaması normal. Daha da azaltmak isteyenler limon suyunu bir tatlı kaşığına çıkarabilir, ekşilik dengeyi korur.
