This is an update on the coconut extract that I made last November 2020. It smells so awesome and I can hardly wait to make a coconut pie with some of this.
So, if you go back to the November category on my site, here. You should see the recipe that I used. It involved, me and a hammer and a fresh coconut that opened just long enough to grab the side of my hand and then close back up. Ouch!!! That hurt!
A lot of sites do not want you to use alcohol in your recipes but for extracts, you have to. I used a quart jar and put the peeled and shredded coconut into the jar and topped it up to one-inch headspace with vodka and let it sit under my sink for three months time.
I did shake the jar when I thought of it. And at the three-month time-line, I strained off the liquid and bottled it up for some luscious-smelling coconut extract. This will probably last me a lifetime but if I make it again then I would use a pint jar instead of a quart jar.
For those of you who use the best extracts, I hope that you try this one out for yourself! Thanks for stopping by today and please come back to visit me again and if you like a recipe then feel free to share it with good people. Thanks again. Connie B. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES
