Steps:
- Bring the verjuice to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and add the dried cherries. Cover and leave for 10-15 minutes to plump up. Stir in the honey and coconut oil, then return the pan to low heat and warm gently, stirring until smooth.
- Line a 25cm × 20cm baking tray with baking paper. Transfer cherry mixture to a food processor, add the coconut and blitz until it comes together in a ball. Transfer mixture to the prepared tray, pressing firmly to ensure it binds. Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours. When firm, remove from the freezer and cut into 12 bars, about 10 cm × 4 cm.
- Melt chocolate: bring a saucepan of water to the boil, then remove from the heat and set a heatproof bowl on top. Place the chocolate in the bowl and leave to stand, stirring occasionally, until melted. Brush the melted chocolate over the top of the bars, coating them evenly.

I came across these easy maraschino cherry bars while stationed at a Michigan Air Force base in 1964 and have been making the recipe ever since. My children don't think an event is special unless they are part of it. -Marguerite Emery, Orland, California

Tips:
- To make the most of the coconut flavor, use unsweetened shredded coconut. Sweetened coconut will make the bars too sweet.
- Be sure to use white chocolate chips that are of good quality. This will help to ensure that the bars have a smooth and creamy texture.
- If you don't have dried cherries, you can use another dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins.
- The bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For a special treat, serve the bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
