I know today is Tuesday and I should have a recipe for Garam Masala Tuesdays but then today is also Christmas eve here in the US and Christmas back in India, so I wanted a Christmas related recipe to be up today. And these Coconut and Jam Hearts recipe from Donna Hay Magazine fit the bill perfectly.
