Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine
- 1 12 ounce package (2 cups) white baking pieces
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup blueberry jam
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Directions
1. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of the baking pieces (do not stir). Set aside. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Add butter mixture to egg mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in almond extract.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir just until combined. Spread half of the batter into prepared pan. Bake in a 325 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven.
4. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt jam over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread melted jam evenly over warm crust. Stir the remaining 1 cup of baking pieces into the remaining batter. Drop the batter in small mounds onto the jam filling. Sprinkle with almonds.
5. Bake about 35 minutes more or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and top is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Makes 16 bars.
