BLACK RASPBERRY BARS
Black raspberries are a rare treat. Their flavor is sweeter than raspberries and more intense than blackberries. Black raspberries and black raspberry preserves can be hard to find if you don't live in a region where they're common. These bars also taste divine with apricot jam or fruit preserves of your choice. -Penny Carey, Oxford, Indiana

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Spray a 9x13" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, shortening, and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch and berries. Spread fruit mixture on top of the dough in the pan. Crumble the remaining dough over the tops of the berries.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the top is slightly brown.
Tips:
- To ensure perfect crust texture, chill the pastry dough before baking. This helps prevent the crust from spreading too much and becoming too soft.
- For an even crispier crust, pre-bake the pastry dough before filling it. This will help create a flaky, golden-brown crust.
- Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can cause the filling to become tough and dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
- For a smooth and creamy filling, strain the lemon curd before using. This will remove any lumps or seeds.
- If you don't have time to make your own lemon curd, you can use store-bought lemon curd instead.
- To add a pop of color, garnish the bars with fresh raspberries or lemon zest before serving.
