Firstly apologies that I’ve not blogged for a while. Last week was catch up time at home after a week away in the States.

The boys are pleased to see my creative energy returning and being applied to making sweet treats. This one was an absolute winner – Raspberry Jam Coconut Slice.

Mine turned out slightly different to the picture on Taste. I guess my baking tin must have been slightly smaller as the base on my version looks a little thicker.

The biscuit base is cooked first before spreading it with jam and then topping with the coconut mixture and returning to the oven.

The taste is quite similar to a jam drop so I’m hoping I might be off the hook from making jam drops for a while. This recipe is a whole lot less time consuming.
