Lime With Coconut Cream

[2006] 

[Aajonus] 

You only really need just a little bit. Now, when I did it in the book, it's overkill, that much lime. I put as little as a half a teaspoon per cup, and it keeps it for a very long time. In fact, I found that even the less is better, half a teaspoon per cup of coconut cream. Half a teaspoon of lime juice per cup of coconut cream. 

[Kathy] 

This is a cup, one cup? 

[Aajonus] 

That's what I said.  

No, the container it comes in is two cups. That's a two-cup container. That's a pint container. Pint jar. So, you need one teaspoon per jar.  

It's better to break it down into smaller jars, unless you're gonna drink it all in one week. 

[Kathy] 

And another thing is you need to have it melted before you can mix it.  

[Aajonus] 

Usually this coconut cream does not solidify like the other coconut cream. This stays soft the entire time.  

[Kathy] 

So, you can still mix it through?  

[Aajonus] 

You can still mix it through. It's better to blend it and you don't have to worry about it. 

When it's in plastic, the plastic gases and causes the coconut to solidify harder. For whatever reason, the chemistry, I don't know, but that's what happens.  

[Kathy] 

How did you blend it if it's in those big wide mouth jar? 

[Aajonus] 

You pour it into different jar.  

[Kathy] 

Oh, we have to take it out from there? 

[Aajonus] 

You have to put it from the big jar into a smaller mouth jar. 

[Kathy] 

Just to put a certain amount in, I wouldn't put the whole thing in it.  

[Aajonus] 

You can't put a whole thing in an eight-ounce jar.  

[Kathy] 

Just half of it.
