PEANUT BUTTER BLACKBERRY BARS



Peanut Butter Blackberry Bars image

The love child of a juicy summer fruit pie and a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, these family-friendly bars are perfect for a backyard picnic or an after-school snack. They're super fast to make with an electric mixer, but you can also make the dough by hand: Just be sure the butter is very soft before you start, and mix with a sturdy wooden spoon or rubber spatula. To make easy work of pressing the dough into the baking dish, use lightly floured hands or the bottom of a flat measuring cup.

BLACKBERRY CRUNCH BARS



Blackberry Crunch Bars image

Sweet, sugary, buttery goodness in a pan. This recipe is from Marsee Baking Company in Portland, Oregon. When we lived in that area, we used to pick wild blackberries and I could make this delicious dessert at a very low cost. It was heaven. The original recipe called for marionberries, but they are interchangeable in this recipe. I have never tried using frozen berries for this, so I recommend fresh.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks, at room temperature and cut into chunks)
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt (reduce this to 1/8 tsp if you must use salted butter)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (plus 2 TB more if needed)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch salt
4 cups fresh blackberries or 4 cups marionberries
1/2 lemon, zest of, grated
1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, at room temperature and cut into chunks)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt (reduce this to 1/8 tsp if you must use salted butter)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the crust:.
  • Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
  • Place the butter, sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. You can set aside the bowl to use for the topping.
  • Bake until the surface is dry and the edges are very lightly browned, about 20-22 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before adding filling.
  • For the filling:.
  • Pop a berry into your mouth. If it's an early-season berry from the store, it might be a little tart. If so, and you want make the filling a bit sweeter, add the extra 2 Tablespoons of sugar to the bowl in the next step.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar (+ 2 T extra if needed), cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the berries and zest until combined. Set aside.
  • For the topping:.
  • In the bowl of the electric mixer, place the butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour and vanilla. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks and the mixture begins to clump together. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
  • To assemble:.
  • Spread the filling on the cooled crust. Especially if the berries are large, the filling might not evenly cover the crust. That's OK.
  • Spread the topping over the filling. The whole thing will look pretty lumpy. That's OK.
  • Bake until the topping has browned lightly and the berry filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. They are best eaten with a fork because they're a little crumbly.
