Which kind of Coconut Pie?
Three delicious ways to vary this rare tropic flavor
WHEN you think of serving coconut pie, has it ever occurred to you to combine its sunny tropic goodness with other flavors — the dark, smooth richness of chocolate, the sweet tang of butterscotch? To blend its friendly sun-sweetness with juicy fruits —the fragrant pineapple, the delicate apricot; or even the familiar fruity apple?
Coconut itself is a marvelous tropic food. Its creamy meat is stored with fragrance. It has a rare, delicious, intriguing flavor. And men especially love it.
Baker's Coconut is prepared with extraordinary care to preserve this flavor in all its marvelous freshness. From the finest tropic groves the Franklin Baker Company gathers only the most carefully ripened, choice nuts. Grown high under tropic suns, the fragrance of exotic blossoms, lush soil and warm air is stored cool and deep in their tough brown husks!
Swift steamers bring them to America, where the creamy meat, still succulent with sweet juices, is immediately taken out, shredded, and packed moist and fresh—every bit of native flavor retained.
When you open the package the tender juicy shreds are crisp and moist as though you had just scooped them from the shell. Think of this fresh goodness every time you order your Baker's Coconut from your grocer.
