San Juan is known as "La Ciudad Amurallada" (the walled city). In 1508, Juan Ponce de Leon founded the settlement. Today Condado Beach is where international travelers come to delight in the warm Caribbean breezes, crystal-clear waters and white sandy beaches.
Coconut Cream
1 (1 1/2 to 2 lb.) coconut - 2 c. boiling water - Grate the coconut meat and place in a bowl. Add water and let cool. Mash with your hand until milk is released from pulp. Remove pulp and drain, letting all milk pour back into bowl. Strain coconut milk to assure all pulp is removed. Set aside until a thick cream rises to the surface. Scoop off and use as cream. Store remaining milk for other recipes. Makes 3/4 cup.

From a set of 12 postcards called:
Cruising the Caribbean (each card also has a recipe on the back)
inside the folder holding the card it reads:
Pristine beaches, tranquil shady palm trees, tropical warm breezes and a laid-back lifestyle make the islands of the Caribbean relaxing, enchanting, enticing, entertaining, and inviting. Thousands of visitors arrive to one or more of the many Caribbean islands each year to find their perfect sun-kissed vacation destination is the one they will never forget.
The Caribbean has it all!!
