Coat an 11-by-13-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil or olive oil. - In a large bowl, soak the matzo pieces in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander, pressing out as much excess water as possible. Return the softened matzo to the bowl and add the walnut oil. Toss to coat, then set aside. - In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs and egg whites. - In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, cinnamon and salt, - Add the almond milk mixture and to the softened matzo; stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup of the brown sugar mixture (reserve the remaining few tablespoons) and the dried cherries. Stir to combine. - Stir in the matzo meal, then spread the mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. - Sprinkle the top with the reserved brown sugar mixture and slivered almonds. Bake until golden-brown on top and no longer wet at the center, 50 to 60 minutes. - Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium-high, bring the cherry juice and almond extract to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and stir in the potato starch mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. - Serve the matzo pudding, warm from the oven, room temperature or cold, topped with the cherry-almond sauce.
