SOUR CHERRY AND COCONUT SLICE
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.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a straw to remove the pits. Simply insert the straw into the cherry and push down until the pit pops out.
- To make the streusel topping, use cold butter. This will help to create a crumbly texture.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cherry slice until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cherry slice cool completely before cutting it into bars.
Conclusion:
This cherry slice is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart cherries are complemented perfectly by the buttery streusel topping. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
