Coconut-topped Jam Slices are popular, but I always find them too sweet. Then I made this recipe. 2 tablespoons Sugar for the base pastry might sound too little, but you must remember that Jam is very sweet. Today I used Lemon Curd, that goes so well with Coconut. Of course, you can replace Lemon Curt with Raspberry Jam, Strawberry Jam OR Blueberry Jam, etc.
