Crazy for Coconut!



I *heart* coconut!!! Everything about it....I could go on and on, but I'll spare you all! Today I got to make coconut milk though. Which is a quite easy process of taking fresh coconut meat, blending it with hot water and then straining the solids out. I am making a pumpkin carrot ginger coconut milk soup for dinner tomorrow (with coconut cream freiche) and needed some coconut milk. As I took a can from the pantry my DH reminded me that "isn't it pretty easy to make coconut milk?" And that reminded me of the coconut meat that I had frozen for just such a purpose. Now I have the remanants of the coconut milk-making process toasting up in the oven so I can add it to some homemade granola.
