Recipe Talk

My mother used to make a dessert that I loved. It had a can of sour pitted cherries, graham crackers, sugar, and had beaten egg whites with coconut on top. I remember that the dessert was placed in the overn to brown the egg whites and coconut. At least, that is all that I can remember. Mama is "gone" and my sister has her recipes. I hope someone can help me.
