Expert Tips

The flavors in this bar were inspired by linzertorte, a classic European dessert originating in Linz, Austria.

Make these fabulous bars ahead of time. Line your pan with aluminum foil, leaving the edge of the foil above the rim of the pan on two opposite sides; grease foil in bottom of pan lightly. Bake bars as directed. When cool, use foil "handles" to remove the whole square from the pan. Wrap airtight and freeze. Before serving, unwrap and let stand about one hour until room temperature.

Apricot lovers can use apricot preserves instead of raspberry and ground almonds instead of the walnuts for variety with this delicious recipe.

Very easy recipe. I used a seedless raspberry spreadable fruit preserve; depending upon the preserves used I recommend increasing to 3/4 cup. Heating preserves in the microwave for up to 30 seconds makes it easier to spread as well, even when the jar hasn't yet been refrigerated. Just realized I'd left out the cinnamon and it was still good. Using a variety of fruit preserve flavors would make it seem as if you'd worked hard when it would have been very easy. This recipe is definitely a keeper and one to share.

I made these and used oatmeal instead of the walnuts, really good! I also used blackberry preserves which my husband loved. I thought they might have been a little sweet but he says it was one of the best desserts.
