The cherries crept up on us this year. It’s been so cold it didn’t seem like it could be that time already. Why don’t the jays eat the ones on the branches I can’t reach?

I decided my favorite French macaron is one that’s half-American. Coconut, so we can even call it a macarOOn. The shells are almond/coconut, the filling is mascarpone (ever since Daring Bakers tiramisu challenge I’ve been all over the homemade mascarpone) with more toasted coconut, and there’s a little surprise heart in the middle.
