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. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Recipe submitted by Joelle, South Lake Tahoe, CA
