Sour Cherry and Coconut Slice image

I just love these sour cherries and this slice is just devine. A family fave and freezes well too. I use cherry Jam (jelly) but I have also used raspberry Jam under the cherries and it works well too. Most berry Jams will probably work.

I added some almond extract to the coconut mixture for a little extra flavor. I also used fresh cherries instead of frozen and they turned out great.

I had a ton of frozen tart cherries and didn't know what to do with them. This recipe was perfect. The coconut balanced out the tartness of the cherries

This slice was a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.
