Notes

* Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple, kiwi, gingerroot, papaya, figs or guava since enzymes in these fruits prevent the gelatin from setting.

** How to Toast Coconut: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread coconut into thin layer in shallow baking pan. Bake 7 to 12 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.
