Ingredients :

·         8 oz. reduced-fat condensed milk

·         1.25 c. sugar

·         3 egg yolks*

·         2 c. grated coconut

·         1 c. large pitted prunes

·         25 to 30 whole cloves**

How To Make :

·         In a medium saucepan, combine condensed milk and 1 c. of sugar. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until sugar has dissolved.

·         Add egg yolks and coconut to pan. Stir well and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer, stirring often, until mixture begins to thicken into a candy syrup.

·         The syrup has the right texture when patches of the bottom of the saucepan show as you are stirring. Remove pan from heat and allow syrup to cool for 10 or 15 minutes.

·         Cut each prune into four equal pieces. Form the cooled coconut candy into egg-shaped pieces about 1 inch long and press each piece firmly onto a prune segment. Place a whole clove in the center of the visible white coconut stuffing.

·         Place remaining 1/4 c. sugar in a small bowl. Roll each “eye” in sugar and serve in small paper cups.

        Preparation time: 1 hour Cooking time: 15 to 20 minutes Makes 25 to 30 candies
