This started as coconut Cocada, a 'zaar recipe from Sharon123, but here in the tropics it's difficult to get candies to set, and so my results soon became the base for a new recipe. This is a sweet, dense, coconut bar full of flavour and filling enough to serve as a desert in itself.

SERVES 16 , 16 bars (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups brown sugar
fresh lime juice (1 lime)
2 1/2-3 cups fresh coconut (grated)
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
1 pinch salt

Directions

1
First boil sugar and lime juice to 230 degrees F.
2
Remove from heat and add coconut, stirring hard.
3
Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
4
Mix in salt, flour and egg.
5
Pour into 9 inch square tray and bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 18 minutes until lightly browned.
6
Mark into 16 squares while still warm.
