Ingredients:

  • 1 medium coconut
  • 8 large navel oranges
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • pinch of kosher or sea salt
  • 3 tbsp cream sherry

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
  2. Pierce softest eye of coconut with a small screwdriver, then drain liquid and discard. Bake coconut in a shallow baking pan until it cracks, about 20 minutes. When cool, wrap in a towel and break shell with a hammer. Pry flesh from shell with screwdriver and peel off brown membrane with a vegetable peeler. Rinse coconut flesh. Coarsely grate coconut on large holes of a box grater using light pressure in long strokes to produce long, feathery flakes.
  3. Cut peel and pith from oranges with a sharp paring knife. Working over a large bowl, cut segments free from membranes, letting them drop into bowl; squeeze juice from membranes into bowl.
  4. Gently toss oranges with coconut, sugar, salt, and Sherry. Chill, covered, at least 1 hour.
