Recipe Introduction
I have made these many times for different functions and they are always a hit, never any leftovers! I get asked all the time for the recipe.
List of Ingredients
PINEAPPLE BARS
1/2 c butter or margarine
1/4 c sugar
1-1/4 c a-p flour
2 eggs
1 c brown sugar, packed
1 c crushed pineapple, drained (save juice for icing)
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp a-p flour
1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional)
Bottom Layer: Combine butter, sugar and flour in bowl. Crumble together well. Pack in 9x9" ungreased pan.
Bake in 350F oven for 15 min.
Top Layer: Beat eggs slightly. Add remaining ingredients. Stir to mix. Spread over shortbread base. Bake in 350F oven for 30 min or until set and a rich brown colour.
Cut into 36 squares.
Icing:
1-1/2 c icing (confectioner's) sugar
3 tbsp butter or marg
5 tsps pineapple juice
Beat all together in bowl adding more juice a few drops at a time to reach proper spreading consistency. Spread over bars.
HINTS: I use Butter Crisco in place of the butter or marg for the shortbread base. Works great.
I let the bars cool a good bit before spreading on icing, spreads easier.
Spread icing gently on bars as top of bars will tear if done otherwise.
Also, I chill the iced bars in the fridge for several hours or even overnight and they cut (with a sharp knife) much easier and less crumbling.
