Putting It All Together

1. Mix the gelatin and warm water to create a gel and set aside
2. In a food processor processor all the ingredients for the crust (including the gelatin) except the butter or ghee and except the chocolate for coating the crust
3. While the processor is running drop in small pieces of the butter or ghee
4. The batter should form a ball but it is OK if it does not
5. If the dough looks too wet add a little more flour a teaspoon at a time
6. Remove from processor and place the dough into the tart pan that is lined with parchment paper and greased with coconut oil
7. Work the dough (with your hands) into the pan and build up the sides and all around as evenly as possible
8. Place the tart pan on a small cookie sheet for ease in moving
9. Place into the freezer to firm up the crust for about 30 minutes then remove when ready to coat the crust with chocolate
10. Gently melt the chocolate in a small pot on #2 heat
11. Spoon the melted chocolate into the crust and spread it out on the bottom and around the sides
12. Keep the tart crust out and let the chocolate set (you can refrigerate if you like)
13. When you are ready to fill the crust, get it to room temperature and then slide the crust out from the tart pan keeping it on the bottom piece of the tart pan
14. Place this on your serving plate
15. Fill the crust with the jam, smooth out with the angled spatula and add the fresh cherries in a decorative pattern
16. Place in refrigerator until ready to eat
17. Serve cold
