Munchkin.More.EatingHi Guys, we have delivered a fresh batch of coconut cream to Green Supaul’s in Punta Gorda.  This information might be useful to you:

Usage and Storage of Coconut Cream:

Our coconut cream is sold in the frozen state.  Store in the freezer.  When you are ready to use, simply use it in the frozen state.  If you only require a small amount, cut off a chunk with a knife and store the remaining cream in the freezer.  The shelf life of this product is 6 months if stored properly in the freezer.

Look at our beautiful coconuts:

Coconut Cream And Haupia Recipe.

Munchkin.Froggie.JumpingFor the people of Punta Gorda, we have a fresh batch of coconut cream at Green Supaul’s.  You can’t miss it…it’s in the same freezer as the ice cream and the almond Snickers bars.  Here is a snapshot to remind you!

You can use the coconut cream for soups, stews and curries.  Also try making shakes and desserts with it.  Here is a recipe for a cooling coconut dessert for the hot Easter weekend (well, it’s going to be hot here).  Haupia is a Hawaiian dessert; if you are using our coconut cream in this recipe, just use half a coconut cream bag mixed in water to make 1 and 1/2 cups (as a substitute for the coconut milk).  This is a great recipe for gluten-free people because it is a delicious recipe made from cornstarch.

The sun is back out and we didn’t get any rains the last few days despite the great promises from weather forecasts.  I did hear that Punta Gorda and a few other villages got some rains…it is interesting (and infuriating!) that the weather is so regional.  Anyway, we must press on and besides, no amount of whining on my part is going to bring the rains on!

It’s Curry Night!!

I love cooking up curries because the wonderful aromatic herbs pervade through the house.  This is when the dogs and the cat start sniffing around because it smells so delicious!  Even the cat gets curry sauce on his gizzard!

Munchkin.ShoutingHello Everyone!!  We went into Punta Gorda today to deliver a fresh batch of coconut cream to Green Supaul’s.  Just in case you are wondering, we make it by grating the coconut:

Grated Coconut.

Next, we add some hot water to the grated coconut and squeeze the liquid out. The liquid is then left to sit for some time to allow the cream to separate and come up  to the top (the coconut milk is at the bottom).  The cream is skimmed off and sold in these bags.  One coconut cream bag (about 4oz) is equivalent to one coconut.

This is fresh, organic, vegetarian, gluten-free, locally produced and politically correct in every way! 😉

Just A Thank-You.

Munchkin.More.EatingIf you follow our posts, you may have realised by now that we enjoy the creativity and inventiveness of harvesting and processing our own food.  Peach Palm Miso was borne out of a fusion of an Asian preservation technique with a farm grown ingredient.   I would like to give a special Thank-you to Julian Obererlacher of Itz’ana, Placencia for his resourcefulness in using our Peach Palm Miso as an ingredient in his menu.

Another Thanks to Enrico Cordenons for providing us with the Itz’ana Menu as follows:

WEDNESDAY 17 FEBRUARY, 2016
 
Sweet/spicy soup of Belizean vegetables with masa
King Estate Pinot Gris 2013 (USA – Oregon)
 
Poblano pepper stuffed with arugula, lentils, Caves Branch ricotta and parmesan
Zolo Malbec 2014 (Argentina – Agrelo Valley)
 
Snook, Casa Mascia Peach palm miso glaze, coco yam puree, grilled zucchini Itz’ana garden chinese greens
Crimson Fetzer Pinot Noir 2012 (USA – Napa Valley)
 
Banana loaf, chocolate, peanut cream, belizean rum caramel, purple basil 
Mayan hot chocolate or Local Rum (Belize Punta Gorda/Placencia)
It is inspiring to see a preference and a confident boldness in using local ingredients.
