   • Begin by slicing the coconut into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Set aside.

2. Cooking Process:

   • In a large pan, combine the sliced coconut strips, water, and sugar.

3. Boiling Stage:

   • Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir frequently to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.

4. Simmering:

   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

5. Evaporation:

   • As the mixture cooks, the water will gradually evaporate, leaving behind a thick, syrupy consistency. Continue cooking until most of the water has evaporated.

6. Cooling and Shaping:

   • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Carefully pour the hot coconut mixture onto the baking sheet, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

7. Shaping the Candy:

   • Use a fork to separate the coconut strips while the mixture is still warm. This helps to create individual pieces of candy.

8. Cooling Process:

   • Allow the coconut candy to cool completely at room temperature. It will harden as it cools.

9. Storage:

   • Once cooled, store the Coconut Candy in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Enjoy as a sweet snack or dessert!
