Pastel De Coco

To the grated meat of one cocoanut take its weight in granulated sugar and one cup of water. Cook until a moderately thick syrup has been formed, adding as it cooks a small cupful of fruit-juice-preferably pineapple. Cook this ten minutes at least, then add the beaten yolks of four eggs, a half-teaspoonful of grated nutmeg and cinnamon mixed, and a half wineglass of wine. Cook very slowly until it thickens evenly (stirring all the while), then spread on a flat dish and let cool before serving. When partially cool sprinkle on this half a cup of grated cocoanut.
