everyone's a coconut

It's that time of year again. Time to make coconut pyramids. I thought I'd update my recipe instructions and show you my first batch of 2012.

keep on pressing and mixing until combined

press down firmly before covering and leaving for an hour

it's all a squash and a squeeze at this stage

perhaps these ones could have done with one minute less in the oven!

the smell of warm coconut is wonderful!

and they taste pretty good too!

Coconut pyramids

 

It's time to make a whole load of coconut pyramids again. The last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic. I've been Spring cleaning the house and getting ready for Passover as well as getting ready to put our house on the market. If you'd like the recipe for coconut pyramids, you can find it here.

We eat coconut pyramids to remind us of the straw and mud bricks that the Israelites made to build Pharoh's treasure cities. 

Exodus 1:14 ...and they made their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and bricks and at all kinds of labor in the field, all their labors which they rigorously imposed on them. 

However, it's no hardship to eat them...they're yummy. (Although I'll probably not be saying that by day 7!)
