Hello. I have a recipe that calls for UNsweetened coconut. I
have sweetened coconut on hand. Anyone have any idea how
much sugar I would need to "delete" from the recipe to make
the equivalent ???

thanks ...Kristina

I'm not sure .. But you would have to account for moisture
content as well, unsweetened coconut is far dryer than
sweetened.

Here we go again... POST THE RECIPE... without the recipe
all anyone can offer is wild speculation.

According to
<http://www.practicalpantry.com/staples/page17.html>

"Do not use sweetened and unsweetened coconut
interchangeably. To remove sugar from sweetened coconut,
soak it in a mixture of half milk and half water for an hour
or two in the refrigerator. Drain well and pat dry."
