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!
