Sweet Coconut Bread With Sorrel Recipe
I learned how to make this Caribbean staple from my aunt, who was from the dual island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, so that’s why my version is a Trinidadian Sweet Bread.Solet’s visit the island of Trinidad together by making the Best Trinidad Coconut Sweetbread.
The reason this Trinidad Sweet Bread is often called Coconut Bread is because coconut is the main ingredient that can never be substituted.
Traditionally, it would be made with freshly grated coconut. However, my aunt always made it withdessicatedcoconut, so that’s the way I make it. Being in NYC, dessicatedcoconut was just easier and more convenient than getting a hold of fresh coconuts.

This is sold by different names, so I am always unsure what to label it. It is basically a variety of candied peel of various fruit.Soit might also be labelled as candied fruit.
