MARION BERRY SHORTBREAD BARS

August 11, 2019

YOU WILL NEED

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

10 tbsp unsalted butter (room temp)

6 tbsp Marion Berry preserves (but you can use any flavor your little heart desires)

LET’S DO THIS!

1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang.

2 Whisk the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Work in the butter with your fingers to make a crumbly dough. Separate 2 tbsp of the dough and refrigerate for topping.

3 Press the remaining dough into the baking dish and freeze until firm, about 10 mins.

4 Remove from freezer and bake for 15 mins. Then, take out and spread the preserves in a 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick layer on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. (Be sure not to spread the jam to the edges or else they will caramelize and harden when baked).

5 Crumble the reserved dough on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 20 - 25 mins, until the edges are golden brown. Let cool 20 minutes, then lift out of the pan and cut as desired.
