Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the salt, sugar and butter.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract and gradually mix in the water.
- Once the dough has come together in the bowl, turn unto a floured surface and knead it.
- Knead until smooth which should take 2-3 minutes.
- Divide the dough, form into a ball and wrap in plastic. Place in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- In aa medium size pot, add the coconut, spices, water, vanilla and almond essence.
- Stir everything together and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes on medium-low heat.
- Stir it constantly and if it dries out add some water. The goal is to have a little bit of water leave over for the baking.
- Once the filling has done cooking, set aside and let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven at 350°F/180°C.
- Roll out one of the dough on a floured surface. The dough should be wide and round enough to go up the sides of you baking pan and 1/8 inch thick.
- Add it to your tart pan add the filling, make sure to smooth the filling out.
- Roll out the other dough about 1/8 inch thick and cut about 8-10 strips.
- Add the strips according to your style and preferences. I like to add mines diagonally.
- Bake the tart for 30-40 minutes then let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
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:
- Rub the flour and butter together with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, egg yolks and 1-2 tbsp cold water, then mix until the dough starts to form clumps. Tip onto your work surface and knead a few times to bring any crumbs into the dough. Shape into a puck, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put a baking sheet on the middle shelf to warm up. Roll out the dough on a flour-dusted surface to line the base and sides of a 23cm round fluted tart tin. Drape it over a rolling pin and lift into the tin, keeping an overhang of about 1cm. Press into the corners, leaving no gaps. Save the pastry scraps.
- Line the tart case with parchment and tip in baking beans or rice. Bake for 20-25 mins on the sheet, then remove the beans and parchment. Check for holes and patch them with the scraps. Put back in the oven for 5-10 mins to give it a nutty brown colour. Brush with the beaten egg and return to the oven for 2 more mins. While still warm, use a serrated knife to trim the pastry to the height of the tin. Leave to cool. Reduce oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1.
- Put the cream and coconut cream in a pan and heat until steaming. Meanwhile, whisk the whole eggs, yolks and sugar until pale. Pour the hot cream over the eggs, whisking until the sugar has dissolved. Pour through a sieve into a jug.
- Put the tart case on the baking sheet in the oven, with the shelf pulled out. Pour in the custard, using up as much as you can. Sprinkle nutmeg over the top generously and bake for 50-55 mins until the custard is set with a little wobble when gently shaken. Leave to cool. Chill for at least two hours, or up to two days.
- When ready to cook the pineapple, heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8. Peel it using a knife to carve away the skin, then cut into four wedges and remove the core. Slice lengthways into long slivers. Arrange over a baking tray lined with parchment. Mix the sugar, rum (or lime juice) and a grating of nutmeg, then paint this over the pineapple. Bake for 10 mins, or until caramelised. Serve warm with the cold tart. We served ours on top with coconut shavings.

Steps:
- 1. In a shallow saucepan add sugar and coconut and cook over medium heat until mixture starts to bubble. The mixture will water a little. Add spices and continue to stir until the mixture comes together, about 20 to 30 minutes. Add a little water to prevent sticking. Remove and cool.
- 2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out pastry to about a quarter inch thick, cut out a four-inch diameter round. Place 1 Tbsp. of filling on the bottom portion of the pastry, leaving an edge of 1/4-inch around the filling. Bring the top portion over the coconut to cover it, crimp edges and seal with a fork. Repeat until all the pastry and coconut is used.
- 3. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

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.

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.
