This is another of our family favorites that makes for an excellent addition to the serving tray. Looks very appealing on the holiday platter and great for special occasions. I often substitute the graham crumbs with crushed Nillas. Just as good untinted - but as my mom reminds me " always make the icing using the juice from a real lemon" - realemon will work but she's right ... that lemon juice makes for awesome!

These pink lady squares are delicious and easy to make. The filling is sweet and tart, and the crust is buttery and flaky. I love the way the raspberry filling peeks through the lattice top.

These were delicious! I used fresh raspberries from my garden and they were perfect. The filling was just the right amount of tart and sweet. The crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again.
