A true country classic, this Buttery Coconut Jam Slice is all about simple pleasures and pantry staples. The golden, oat-and-coconut base is rich with butter and a hint of golden syrup, perfectly balanced by a generous layer of jam. Whether you choose tangy mixed berry, sweet apricot, or whatever’s on your shelf, each bite delivers that comforting, crumbly chew that pairs beautifully with a cuppa.
Buttery Coconut Jam Slice Recipe:
This simple country slice works beautifully with apricot, plum, strawberry or mixed berry jam, all depending on what you have in the cupboard or select from the Long Track jam shelves. It’s the kind of slice that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.
