Soak the cherries in enough water to cover for 10 - 15 minutes. Drain the cherries, discard the soaking liquid (or use in a smoothie).

In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, salt, baking soda, drained cherries, and chocolate chips.

Add the beaten eggs and honey. Stir until thoroughly combined.

Place the dough the prepared baking sheet and pat it out into an oblong.

Cut into eight pieces as shown.

Bake for approximately 12 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Turn the tray about halfway through the cooking time.

Cool on the baking sheet while you make the glaze.

Combine the confectioner's sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add more sugar or milk to adjust the consistency.

Drizzle the glaze over the scones and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
