I don't see many recipe for fruity goods here yet, so I'll take the initiative and try turning a few pounds of berries into stoner meds. I need to diversify my edibles, so as to enjoy a bit more variety! I'm willing to listen to ideas ;)

Strawberry squares again, this time I lock in the recipe. the previous batch tasted fine but the topping {berry mix} was a bit moist to the touch. They need to be a bit dryer because I eat them anytime and anywhere when needed, and I'd kinda look like a moron, sitting in the doctor's office, covered in goo! When I nail it, I'll post it (y).

The current recipe is as follows,
CRUST
1 cup SR flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup canna butter or oil
1 OZ finely ground bud

Mix all dry ingredients thoroughly
Add butter/ oil, eggs, lemon juice and any other moist items
Mix completely and press into 2 9x9 or 8x8 pans lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes
You will add the filling into the hot crust and continue baking 20-25 minutes
cool completely, pull out by the paper and cut.
I normally cut an 8x8 pan into 16 pieces
1 is usually enough to fix most issues.

FILLING
4 cups of fruit 1 cup flour
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1tsp baking powder
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 eggs
citric acid to taste

add fruit, oil, and brown sugar to a small crockpot or slow cooking device cook on high for 4-5 hours
Stir well and hydrate if necessary, with lemon juice. cook on low for 8+ hours, stir well remove from heat and allow it to cool.
Combine all the remaining ingredients and mix very well.
here you could add raisins, finely chopped nuts, or whatever makes you happy.
Pour this mixture over the hot crusts float them out level and continue baking 20-25 minutes or until all liquid has been baked into the topping.

For Lemon only bars, I add an additional cup of lemon juice and 1 tbsp lemon baking essence.

I have made these squares with my wife's forgotten freezer fruits as follows
Strawberries, peaches, blueberries and raspberries
All were good except blueberry, it was too much, but it became a wonderful accent to the strawberry squares.

I need to refine this recipe a bit further. This is a great middle of the road recipe it will vary according to fruit type and concentration, so hope you guys enjoy this too!

I need to make a batch of Canna butter in my insta pot tomorrow. I'm tiring of my heady brownies, so I'll make some butter, and then I'll make some fruit squares. I usually change things around, but have been a bit lazy.

I made some new treats along the lines of my fruit squares. For each 8x8 pan, after the graham cracker crust is prebaked, I took 1 regular sized package of strawberry jello, 1 cup flour, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 cup citric acid, and 4 eggs. OK, I also add 1 ounce of finely ground flower and 1/2 cup infused oil or butter. Mix it well and pour over the graham cracker crust. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
I like the fruity ones best, but these can be made in an hour, whereas, the cooked fruit takes about 6 hours to break down to a state needed for the fruit squares.

Oopsie! I made some edibles along the lines of how I did it above, but I used Chocolate pudding instead. This is not my best work. I'm going back to the fruity mix. I'll eat them for meds but this is the first batch of edibles that I'm not proud of. They will still help me get to sleep, just not in tasty fashion! If I want Chocolate, I'll just make brownies!

Redemption is at hand! I just finished a new batch of graham crusted fruit squares. Last weeks lemon bars were so good, I had to hide them from myself! Today, I made the squares with vanilla pudding and cherry pie filling. I won't be doing any heavy thinking tonight!

Edible update. The cherry pie filling was not a good match for this recipe. The Glaze did not cook down, and so, even after cooking and freezing, the topping never set up. Tasty but messy as hell!
Todays recipe is similar to the Strawberry recipe above, but I added Dry lemon pudding to the topping and used lime Jello. OOH these are good! 2, 8 x 8 pans make 32 squares, but they are not going to last very long :stoned:
