Bars and More Bars


Mike celebrates the first weeks of summer with Blackberry Almond Shortbread Squares (from Martha Stewart's 2004 Annual Recipes) and Raspberry Bars.  Both incorporate a shortbread-based crust and streusel toppings that adds a sweet crunch. The blackberries are tossed with orange zest and the Raspberry Bars have a cup of fresh raspberries mixed with preserves as the filling. Perfect with a cold glass or sun tea or freshly-squeezed lemonade!

Those look so delicious, Mike! I am going to try these recipes. Why are there only a few bars on the cake plate, Mike? Do you eat the rest?! :-)
