This dish can be very simple or very difficult, but either way it's cool and refreshing! Around here, people adore this but seldom make it - not knowing THE SECRET. Ingredients:
large navel oranges |
sugar |
shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. The tricky part is that you have to remove the orange membranes - the absolute meanest thing my older cousin did to me when I was little.
2. I realized only last year the extremely easy way to do it:
3. Slice off the top and bottom of an orange so that it's flat on either end.
4. With a sharp knife, cut away the rind - including all the pith and the outer section membrane.
5. Slice orange in half then separate sections, removing membranes as you go.
6. Add sugar, a little less than you think you should, depending on how sweet the oranges are (that's why there's no measurement).
7. Add as much coconut as looks good to you - then add a little more.
8. Chill several hours.
9. Taste to see if it needs any more coconut or sugar.
10. Chill till ready to serve.
11. Ah, marvelluex! At once, you win new friends!
