Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

two 12-ounce bags of frozen raspberries (see notes)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (more depending on tartness of your berries)
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
juice of one lemon
3 cups rolled oats
3 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar (loosely packed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups melted butter (I prefer salted)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place raspberries in a large colander. Run warm water over them for a minute, and then let the liquid drain out for about an hour until softened and thoroughly drained (see notes). Mix raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
  • Mix the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, and salt together into a crumble-like mixture. Press two thirds of the crumble into the bottom of a 9×13 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the raspberry layer on top of the baked bottom layer. Sprinkle with remaining crumble. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. They will need a little time to set up into "bar" formation, so chill them for a few hours to get them really solid. Orrrr... cut into it right away and eat it like a soft fruit crisp! You should be able to remove them from the pan easily by pulling up on the edges of the parchment paper.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 sticks butter, softened, plus more for the pan
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup Raspberry Preserves, recipe follows
1 quart raspberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 3/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Add the flour, both sugars, oats and salt to a bowl in your stand mixer. Add in the butter and egg and beat at low speed. Stop the machine and scrape the bowl down a couple of times. Keep processing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Keep 2 cups crumb mixture aside.
  • Press the remaining crumb mixture on the bottom the prepared pan. Spread the Raspberry Preserves over top, leaving 1/2-inch border. Crumble the rest of the oat mixture over the preserves.
  • Bake until lightly browned, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
  • Put your raspberries and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it's at a simmer, partially cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes. Pass the berry mixture through a food mill and measure the liquid that remains. You need 3 1/2 cups. Add more water if there isn't enough.
  • Put the berry liquid into a new saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer again. Once it simmers, start adding your sugar in 1/2 cup increments. Give it a stir to incorporate and bring it back to a simmer before adding of the next 1/2 cup sugar. Once the last 1/2 cup is added, bring the liquid to 216 to 218 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Stir constantly.
  • Let this cool to room temperature prior to using. If not using right away, refrigerate for up to 1 week. Yield: 2 cups.

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 9 to 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 to 12 ounces good raspberry jam, such as Hero
2/3 cup good granola without dried fruit
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until combined. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla.
  • Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing until it almost comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out on a board. Lightly pat two-thirds of the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan and about 1/4-inch up the sides. Spread with the jam, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Mix the granola into the remaining dough with your hands. Break the dough into small bits and distribute it on top of the jam, covering most of the surface. Sprinkle the almonds on top. Bake the bars for 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Cool completely and cut into 9 or 12 bars. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. You can also use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the bars with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

These buttery raspberry crumble bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They are perfect for any occasion, whether you are hosting a party or just want a sweet treat to enjoy with your family. The bars are made with a simple shortbread crust, a sweet raspberry filling, and a buttery crumble topping. They are baked until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The bars are then cooled and cut into squares. They can be served with whipped cream or ice cream.
