1 1/2 c. flour, sifted
3/4 c. confectioners sugar, sifted
1 1/2 stick butter, melted & cooled
1 1/2 c. seedless raspberry jam

3 egg whites 1/4 tsp. cream of tartar 3/4 c. sugar 1/3 c. sliced almonds

In a bowl, combine flour, confectioners sugar and melted butter. Blend to form dough. Press dough into lightly buttered, 9 x 13-inch baking pan, leaving a rim on all sides. Bake it in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

Spread jam on the pastry, leaving a 1/4-inch edge uncovered on all sides. Beat 3 egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar. Continue to beat for 6 minutes. Spread meringue over jam and sprinkle it with almonds. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly brown. Let cool and cut into squares.
