1 pound granulated sugar.

8 ounces cocoanut either fresh grated or desicated.

A small half cup water,

Set the sugar and water over the fire in a small bright kettle and boil about 5 minutes, or till the syrup bubbles up thick and ropes from the spoon, and do not stir it. Then put in the cocoanut, stir to mix, and when it begins to look white pour it immediately into a shallow tin pan. As soon as it is set solid mark it off, and cut in little squares when cold. The same kind may be colored red, and also be made with chocolate.
