WICKLEWOOD'S LEMON RASPBERRY BARS (GLUTEN AND SUGAR FREE)
I was first introduced to lemon bars when I reviewed Secret teenage chef's "Easy Lemon Bars". They were delish, but I was determined to make them gluten free as well as sugar free.The flavor combination of fresh lemon and raspberry are what make these deliciuos little treats... Sugar free jams are available, but can be quite expensive and yet so easy to make, my own has just three simple ingredients "Wicklewood's Sugar free Raspberry jam".

Steps:
- Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Butter baking pan, then line with 2 layers of parchment, leaving a 2" overhang on all sides. Butter parchment.
- Press dough into bottom and about 3/4" up sides of prepared pan. Poke all over with a fork and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Bake crust until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour filling into crust and bake bar until set and slightly golden brown at the edges, about 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely, then chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Loosen edges with an offset spatula or butter knife, then use parchment overhang to remove bar from pan. Transfer bar on parchment to a cutting board and cut into 4 pieces lengthwise and 3 pieces crosswise to make 12 rectangular bars. Dust bars with powdered sugar.
- Do Ahead
- Bars can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled in baking pan.
Tips:
- For a classic lemon bar, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. It provides a brighter, more intense flavor than bottled lemon juice.
- To prevent the crust from becoming too brown, cover it with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
- For a cleaner cut, use a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water. Wipe the knife clean after each cut.
- Store the lemon bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
