DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY SQUARES!
This has to be one of the best recipes for blueberry squares... taken my "Favorite Summertime Recipes" folder! You may use all blueberries, and the larger amount of cornstarch, if you prefer a more "gelatinous" filling, rather than a bit loose. If you follow directions carefully, you will have the most fantastic blueberry squares... I promise! Don't forget, chill for 30 minutes before baking! Please, do the crust only in the processor otherwise it will not have good results! Prep time includes chilling time of 30 minutes. Even better...use 2 cups blueberries with 1 cup raspberries if desired!

BLUEBERRY PIE BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over on two sides. Spray the parchment.
- For the crust: In the bowl of a food processor, combine the butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Process until the mixture starts to come together and clump, 1 minute. Remove 3/4 cup and reserve; press the remaining crust mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
- For the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, flour, cornstarch, vanilla extract and cinnamon until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of the blueberries. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, shaking the pan gently to settle the custard and berries. Pour the remaining 1 cup blueberries over the top, spreading them evenly.
- Take the reserved crust and sprinkle it over the top of the berries, squeezing the mixture in your hands to encourage large lumps.
- Bake for 1 hour. Let cool. Remove the bars from the pan and cut into 9 pieces. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE BARS
These bars are always a big hit and are a great way to use those fresh summer berries--though frozen blueberries work just as well. They're especially great with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Coat an 8"X 8" baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and vanilla and stir to mix well.
- Add the margarine and cut it quickly into dry ingredients with two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal and is no longer powdery. Do no overmix--bits of margarine will still be visible.
- Set aside about half the oat mixture; press the rest firmly into the pan. Bake until lightly browned at the edges (but not fully baked), 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the preserves with the spinach puree in a small bowl.
- Spread blueberry mixture over the partially baked oat layer, then sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Bake until topping is slightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.
- Spinach Puree:.
- Steam baby spinach(for mature spinach-remove stems) for about 30-40 seconds or cook in skillet with 1 tablespoons water for about 90 seconds or just until wilted. Puree in food processor or blender for about 2 min until smooth and creamy.
Tips:
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Just thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the squares tough.
- Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into bars.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Blueberry squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up fresh blueberries. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of blueberry squares that will be sure to please everyone.
