Crust:
2 cup flour
1/2 ts. nutmeg
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1 cup butter, softened
Filling :
1/3 cup boysenberry preserves (or flavor of your choice)
4 eggs
1 3/4 cup sugar
6 Tbs lemon juice
2 Tbs grated lemon zest
1/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
additional confectioner's sugar for topping
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 layer of confectioner's sugar. Let stand until cool
before cutting into bars.
Makes about 2 dozen bars
