Instructions
1
Pour the coconut milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the sugar, vanilla, butter and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
2
Bring to a gentle boil and lower the heat. Reduce for 15–25 minutes over low heat, stirring every 1–2 minutes. The volume will halve.
3
To test: if a spoon leaves a trail that holds and the mixture only just runs, it is ready. It will look thin while hot but thickens in the fridge.
4
Pour into a jar, cool at room temperature, then refrigerate. If it turns grainy, blend it for 10–15 seconds.
