Steps
- Heat 2 cups of sugar, 2 cups of brown sugar, and ½ cup of water in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until dissolved and thickened.
- Stir in 2 cups of grated unsweetened coconut and 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. Cook over low heat, stirring, for about 20 minutes, until very thick.
- Drop a small spoonful onto a damp cutting board. When it hardens as it cools, remove the pan from the heat.
- Drop rounded 1-tablespoon mounds onto the damp board and let them spread and set completely.
