Does anyone out there have an easy recipe to make "Makapuno Pie?" I don't want Buko Pie, I want Makapuno Pie. I’m going to steer this thread towards a slightly different direction, ok?

My memory of macapuno candy is from my childhood when aunts cooked the stuff for a whole day - I don't have the patience. When I next go back to Quezon, I am challenged to research from either surviving aunt for the recipe. It's this macapuno stuff with milk that is wrapped in Japanese paper. The other macapuno recipe which is more common is the minatamis na macapuno, macapuno in sugar. The opacity or translucence of the macapuno strings depends on the amount of sugar: less sugar, less translucent; more sugar, more translucent. I shall keep you posted, Marketman. You have intrigued me enough to go back to my roots. What am i doing in a foodie website when I am but a lowly subsistence cook (meaning cooking for the family so they do not die)!!!

Makapuno has a sticky substance inside, like a goo so it doesnt produce the swooshy sound. to know if the husked coconut is a makapuno or not, simply try to rattle it. if there is a swooshing sound of water, its not makapuno.

It is because the word came from the Pilipino word maka and the earliest publications too were using makapuno. If we acknowledge that this is very Filipino then we should spell it with k. I have an official letter to this effect but maybe has not gone to the right people. Let us start using the right word then. Thank you. You can check out my name in google to know more.....
