Banana Cherry Slice

A very old recipe my mother cut out of the long defunct Winnipeg Tribune

1  1/2 cups flour
2/3 cup cold butter (add a pinch of salt if you use unsalted butter)
3 tbsp brown sugar

35 large marshmallows
17 maraschino cherries, chopped
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Cut butter into flour and brown sugar to make a crumb mixture.
Press into bottom of 9" x 13" greased pan.
Bake crust at 300F for 20 minutes.  Let cool.
Melt marshmallows in top of double boiler (or in microwave).
Stir in fruit.  Spoon over cooled base and chill.

Icing:
1/2 cup soft butter (pinch of salt if using unsalted butter)
3/4 cup icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk (or Amaretto)
2 tsp almond or vanilla extract (don't bother if using Amaretto)

Mix it all up and spread over cooled slice.
