1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 c. finely chopped nuts
3/4 c. butter
1/2 c. sifted powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. finely shredded lemon peel
3/4 c. blackberry jam, apricot preserves, or raspberry preserves
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour

Stir together the 1 3/4 cups flour and nuts. In a large mixer bowl, beat butter until softened. Add the powdered sugar and lemon peel; beat until fluffy. Add the flour mixture; beat until crumbly.

Press 2/3 of the crumbs onto the bottom of an ungreased 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan. Spread with jam. Stir the 1 tablespoon flour into the remaining crumb mixture and sprinkle over jam. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until crumbs are golden. Cool. Cut into bars. Makes 24.
