Jamaican Coconut Drops

Jamaican Coconut Drops are a sweet treat made from fresh coconut chopped into little pieces that are a sweet, soft, and gummy texture. Traditionally, it's cooked then the drops are scooped from the pot and dropped on a banana leaf, and left to cool. With easy ingredients added to the drops like sugar, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt you too can have these deliciously sweet, chewy coconut snacks any time you feel for something tasty.
