Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • 18 oz red raspberry preserve/jelly

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl whisk the eggs.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, sugar and baking powder.
  • Then add the shortening, eggs and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, mix until combined.
  • Press ¾ of the dough into an ungreased 10 x 15 cookie sheet (save ¼ for topping)
  • Spread Jelly into an even layer over the dough, coming within ¼" of all edges. This leaves a delicious crust.
  • Crumble the remaining dough over the jelly.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown. Approximately 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can use regular or seedless raspberry jelly, or another fruit jelly if you prefer.
  • Be sure to beat the eggs well to help bind the dough while keeping it tender.
  • Bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature and are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.
