I found this luscious-looking recipe at recipegirl.com. I really wanted to make this using different flavors of jam.
Ingredients
- 3 stick
- butter, softened
- 3/4 c
- light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 3/4 c
- granulated white sugar
- 2 tsp
- vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp
- salt
- 3/4 c
- almond flour or very finely ground almonds
- 2 3/4 c
- all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 c
- blackberry jam, seedless
- powdered sugar
How to Make BLACKBERRY BARS
- 1In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugars; beat until creamy. Add the vanilla and salt and beat until well combined.
- 2Add the almond flour and the all-purpose flour into the butter mixture on low speed and beat just until a smooth dough forms.
- 3Divide the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Press the other half into the bottom of a lightly sprayed 9x13-inch baking pan.
- 4Bake the crust in a preheated 325-degree oven about 20 minutes or until it is just beginning to brown around the edges. Remove from oven.
- 5Place the blackberry jam in a bowl and stir well until it is very smooth. Spread the jam evenly over the partially baked crust. Crumble the refrigerated dough over the jam to form a crumbled topping.
- 6Return the pan to the oven and continue baking about 30 minutes, until the topping is firm and golden crisp. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar before cutting into bars.
