Toast coconut the traditional way, in the oven - people have been doing it that way for years and years. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet, and bake until it's light brown, stirring frequently. I like to bake at a lower temperature (325°F), as it's less likely to burn. Time can vary, depending on your own oven, the pan you use, and how much coconut you8're toasting; just keep your eye on it, and it'll be fine. PJH
