Preparation
Preparing the Coconut Bread
Preheat Oven and Prep Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, coconut flakes, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Preparing the Pineapple Jam
Combine Jam Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine chopped pineapple, sugar, lemon juice, and grated ginger.
Cook Jam
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
Cool Jam
Remove from heat and let cool completely before using.
Be cautious of the hot jam; it can splatter while cooking. Pro Tip: Use a food processor for evenly chopped pineapple.
