COCONUT TARTS
My Grandma used to send these to the soldiers in the Second World War. I've modified their sugar content as they used to be quite sweet.

LEMON COCONUT TARTLETS
I purchased some mini-tart shells from a school fundraiser but didn't know what to do with them. But, I found this little gem in a Canadian Living Christmas Special magazine from 1982. They are really good on their own but a generous dollop of real whipped cream takes them over the top!! Very easy to make, too!

CARIBBEAN COCONUT TART
Sunset magazine's kitchen developed and published this recipe (in the early 1970's) after having tasted this delicacy on the French island of Guadeloupe. They were able to duplicate the flaky pastry and rich macaroon-type filling. It's easy to make and can be finished ahead of time (needs to chill) for an impressive dessert.

Steps:
- Prepare the pastry as directed: In a bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and grated orange peel.
- With a pastry blender, cut in butter until fine particles form.
- Add 1 lightly beaten egg and stir with a fork until well blended; work with your hands until dough holds together in a ball. Divide into thirds.
- Set aside 1/3 of the pastry for lattice strips.
- On a lightly floured waxed paper, roll out the other 2/3 to a 12-inch circle. Use the paper to lift and gently turn pastry into a 10 1/2-inch tart pan with removable bottom (or 10-inch pie pan).
- Shape to bottom and sides of pan; trim excess from top edge of tart pan (or away from rim of pie pan).
- Bake in a 325*F oven for 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, divide remaining pastry into 10 pieces; on a lightly floured board roll each into a 10 to 12 inch rope. Cover and refrigerate while mixing filling.
- Filling: In a bowl lightly beat the eggs, then stir in sugar, salt and flour. Add coconut, orange juice and melted butter; mix well. Pour into prepared crust.
- Criss-cross ropes of dough on top of filling. Trim and press ends to edges of pastry. Return to a 325* oven and bake until crust is golden brown and center is set, about 40 minutes.
- Warm the jelly or jam until melted and carefully brush it over top of hot tart. Cool completely, as long as 24 hours, then remove sides of pan and cut tart in wedges.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place a shallow 23cm flan tin on a baking tray. Tip the spices, coconut and sugar into a pan with 150ml water and cook over a low heat for about 5 mins, stirring frequently to ensure the mixture doesn't catch. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line the flan tin. Trim off the excess pastry, fill the pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans and cook for 15 mins. Remove the beans and cook for 5 mins more so the pastry on the base of the tin is just cooked, but not brown.
- Beat the egg and melted butter into the cooled coconut mixture, then spoon into the pastry case and smooth the top. Bake for 25 mins until the pastry is golden and the coconut pale golden. Serve with cream or real vanilla ice cream and some Cape gooseberries, then follow with cups of black Rooibos tea.
