how do you make macapuno balls or strips which are usually added to halo-halo?

Answer 1

I usually just buy them in a jar or can

Answer 2

Scrape out the macapuno from the two nuts and put it in a food processor and added the same amount, weight wise, of granulated white sugar and blitzed it till semi-smooth. There will still be some bigger bits so that the macapuno would be noticeable and distinct…I then heat that up in a heavy enamel pan and mixed it until thick, about 15-20 minutes over low heat. I then cooled the mixture and it got a little more solid after a few hours. Then I rolled it in sugar and packaged it in clear food safe wrapper (not cellophane which gets too moist and soft).
