Peel some sweet, juicy oranges, removing all the white, bitter skin, cut
in thin slices and put a layer at the bottom of a glass dish, sprinkle
with sugar, then put a layer of freshly grated cocoanut and a layer of
bananas, cut in thin slices, and repeat, beginning again with oranges,
until the bowl is full, finishing with a layer of cocoanut. Pour over it
any juice that may have run from the oranges, and if liked a glass or
two of sherry may be added. Serve very cold.
