0 Page 4 THE BATTALION Thursday, November 4,1954 Family Favorites By Mrs. Elenore Holland (Ed. note: This is Mrs. Holland’s third group of recipes on Hawaiian dishes. In this series she presents “Cooking With Co conut”.) First of all, I wish to make a correction in one of my Chinese rec ipes. The pig feet should be cooked in about 1 tablespoon of oil ih- instead of one cup. Since coconuts are on the market now, I would like to give you some Hawaiian recipes using coconuts. Preparing a Hawaiian dinner here would be nearly impossible unless you could have some of the in gredients like poi and ti leaf (pronounced tea) flown in. I have grown ti leaf here, but not on a scale to make it worth while for cooking. Haupia, Hawaiian Coconut Pudding 2 grated coconuts % cup sugar 2% cups boiling water ^ cup cornstarch ^ cup cold milk Pour boiling water over coconut and stir. Strain this mixture through a cloth. This process makes coconut milk. Mix the corn starch and sugar together and add milk to make a smooth paste. Heat coconut milk to a boil, add cornstarch-sugar mixture and stir until thick. Remove from heat and pour into a pan and let cool. Cut into two inch cubes to serve. Coconut Pineapple Candy 1% cups sugar 1% cups fresh grated coconut % cup water (approximately 1 coconut) 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 4 tablespoons crushed pine apple drained Combine sugar, cornsyrup and water and boil until combination spins a thread two inches long. Remove the crystals from the side of the pan with a damp piece of cloth wrapped around a fork or a pastry brush dipped in water. Remove .the syrup from heat. Stir in the coconut and pineapple then boil the mixture until very thick. Remove from heat. Beat until it becomes creamy and is of the proper consistency to drop from a teaspoon on waxed paper. Yields 24 can dies. Coconut Drbps 4 cups sugar 1 large coconut grated Vz cup coconut milk Vi teaspoon almond extract (water) or vanilla Place the sugar and the coconut milk in a saucepan and heat, stirring constantly to 218 degrees (soft ball stage). Add grated coconut and cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, add extract and beat until thick. Drop from spoon on waxed paper. Fresh Coconut Candy 3 cups sugar % cup coconut water or plain water Boil until soft ball is formed in cold water, then add the follow ing: 3 cups shredded coconut 1 teaspoon vinegar Pinch of salt % teaspoon vanilla Boil ten minutes, remove from heat and keep taking a little out at a time. Beat mixture in a dish until creamy and drop by spoonfull on waxed paper. You may color these candies any color you like to pretty them. An easy way to crack and peal a coconut is to remove water by punching two holes in the coconut’s eyes, blow air into coconut and cover hole with finger. Tap all over the coconut with a hammer and give it one hard crack then heat the pracked pieces in the oven for a short time. Lift out the meat with a blunt knife and then use a po tato peeler to remove the brown covering.
