Recipe Introduction


Lemon and boysenberry are a good combination but you can use any flavor of
preserves you like. Lemon is one of those flavors that goes with most
anything so don't be afraid to experiment. Try this recipe for your next
bake
sale and clean up.


List of Ingredients






Crust
2 C flour
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 C confectioner's sugar
1 C butter, softened

Filling
1/3 C boysenberry preserves (or flavor of your choice)
4 eggs
1 3/4 C sugar
6 T lemon juice
2 T grated lemon zest
1/3 C flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
additional confectioner's sugar for topping



Recipe



Makes about 2 dozen bars

Preheat oven to 350° F. To make the crust, mix flour, nutmeg and sugar in a
large bowl, cut in the butter until crumbly (a food processor makes quick
work of this process). Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch
square baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for
at
least 20 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 325° F.

Beat eggs with an electric mixer until foamy, add remaining filling
ingredients and beat until well combined. Spread the preserves over the
cooled crust, then pour the lemon mixture over the preserves. Bake for
35-40
minutes until set. Remove from oven and sprinkle with a payer of
confectioner's sugar. Let stand until cool before cutting into bars.
