Directions:Cherry Filling
Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in saucepan. Add cherry juice and cook stirring constantly until thickened. Stir in butter, lemon juice, cherries. Cool.
Crust
Cool milk to lukewarm, add yeast. Cut butter into flour. Add liquid ingredients and egg yolks to dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Turn out onto floured surface and knead 10 times. Divide dough in half.
Assembly
Roll first 1/2 of dough large enough to cover ungreased 11 1/2' x 15 1/2" jelly roll pan. Spread cooled cherry sauce over dough. Roll out second portion of dough to fit over dough and cherry sauce in pan. Pinch edges of two layers of dough together gently. (Note: Dough is very soft and it is a challenge to get the top 'crust' rolled out and draped over the cherries. Practice makes perfect:-) )
Allow dough to rise in warm place 15 minutes.
Bake at 350ºF for 45-55 minutes. Cool
Frosting
Mix frosting ingredients together until smooth. Spread over partially cooled cherry bars. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Cut into 3" squared and then cut each square diagonally making triangles. |

Notes: I received this recipe from our neighbor, Tillie Calkins, in East Lansing Michigan. She made me promise never to share the recipe with friends. Hopefully after 40 years, she won't mind if I share it with family:-).
