Cherry Crown Delight

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 360°F, and place the frozen pastry onto a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Allow to thaw for 5 minutes, and sprinkle the speculoos cookie crumbles around the filling. Then sprinkle with the coarse sugar. Bake for 18 - 20 minutes. Let cool.
2. Top with whipped cream and homemade sour cherry jam. Finish with powdered sugar (optional).

Sour Cherry Jam

1. In a large, heavy pot, add sugar, vanilla, spice, honey, orange juice, lemon juice, water, and salt.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes, keeping a close eye not to let it stick.
3. Add the cherries to the pot, cooking for another 10-15 minutes until tender. Add the Kirsh and simmer for 2 minutes.
