Provided by coconutrecipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cup dry organic flaked coconut
2/3 cup raw organic almonds
2/3 cup juice from fresh ripe organic clementines (about 10), reserve the peel for another recipe
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pink salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground dried orange peel
1/2 cup raw honey
1 cup unsweetened organic dried cranberries

  • Pulse coconut in a food processor to make small flakes but not powder, you still want to see texture. Grind almonds to a medium coarse grind. In a large bowl, mix the coconut, fruit juice and water. Allow to rehydrate at room temperature for 1 hour, stir occasionally. Squeeze out and then drain the coconut in a wire mesh strainer. allow to continue to drain for 3 hours while stirring and pressing/squeezing occasionally. Mix almond meal, salt and orange peel well in food processor and add honey. Blend well until incorporated (this is your almond paste). In a mixing bowl, put in the almond paste and knead in the coconut and cranberries until blended well. Using a metal scoop, scoop up mixture and pack it well, place on dehydrator tray that is meant for fruit leather (the one that is solid without slots). Cover and dehydrate for a total of about 10 hours. Check every hour and pack down with scoop to maintain shape. After about 7 hours you should be able to transfer macaroons to regular dehydrating tray without them falling apart. Continue to dry until firm but still chewy.
