Black Raspberry Jam Bars Recipe

Serves 12

Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups un-sifted flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon, Ground
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup Stonewall Black Raspberry Jam
2 tbsp flour


Directions:
In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. With a pastry blender or two knives use scissor style, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form. With a fork stir in corn syrup and egg just until mixed. Reserve 1/2 cup batter. Press remaining batter into a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Spread with jam. Stir 2 tbsp flour into the reserved batter. If preparing a lattice add a couple tbsp of water - one at a time - to make the dough easy to roll out. If you are dropping the dough by spoonfuls then just evenly scatter the top "crust" over the jam for a "spotty" look and bake. On a floured surface roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/4-inch wide strips. Lattice strips over jam. Bake in 375-degree oven 30 minutes, or until set. Cool. Cut into bars. Serving size is really up to you - cut into as many bars as you want.
