Yeah that is what I figured. Is there any substitute for the red label if we can't get any?

Coco Bread

Ingredients

2 packets of yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

2 fl oz of warm water

1.5 teaspoon salt

6 fl oz warm milk

1 lightly beaten egg

3 cups white flour

4 oz melted butter

Directions

1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water, then add in the milk, salt and egg while stirring.
2. Pour half of the flour and stir. Then slowly add flour to the mixture until it becomes stiff. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. In a clean bowl, add oil and roll the dough in it until coated.
3. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise for 1 hour. Cut the dough into 10 pieces and roll each piece out. Brush each rolled piece of dough with melted butter and fold it in half. Brush dough with more butter on and fold it again.
4. Place the folded dough pieces on a well-greased cookie sheet and pre heat the oven to 425 degrees and place a pan filled with water on the bottom rack.
5. Bake the coco bread for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

I feel the same way. My husband isn't Jamaican but as soon as we're together again I am sure going to be dishing up some of these recipes. My mouth started watering just reading a few of them...

Thanks!

Gizzada

Ingredients for filling:

1 cup Water

1 ½ cups Grated Coconut

1 ½ lb. Brown Sugar

¼ tsp. Grated Nutmeg

1 oz. Butter

Method:

Boil water and sugar together on low heat to make syrup. Add the grated coconut and other ingredients, except butter, to the syrup and allow boiling for 15 minutes. Stir the ingredients with a fork every now and then.

Add butter and stir ingredients to cook for another 6 minutes or until butter is not visible in the filling. Allow the filling to cool.

Ingredients for pastry:

2 cups Flour

Ice water

1 tsp. Shortening

1 tbsp. Butter

½ tsp. Salt

Sift flour and salt together. Cut in butter and shortening and add water to make dough. After making dough, place it in a plastic wrapping and keep the dough in the fridge for half an hour.

Remove the dough from the fridge and use a rolling pin to roll dough on a cutting board to a ¼ inch thickness. Flour the board first.

Using an 8-oz drinking glass, you can cut circles in the dough. Or use a cookie cutter to make the size of the pieces you desire. Pinch around the circled pieces of dough in a uniform pattern; this will give the decorated effect. You pinch the dough to make a holder for the filling.

Remove the dough pieces for the filling and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake the dough pieces at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. And then add the filling to the baked dough. Bake the gizzadas for another 20 minutes.

Allow to cool, and Presto!

Here is a way to cheat on this treat.

Buy the small pie shells (2" or 3") from the grocery store…and just add the coconut filling to the shells and bake them for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F.
