-
I used cherry jelly, adding a little almond extract to the crust. The bottom crust layer was so thin it didn't really hold up the jelly and the sprinkled topping, making this awkward to eat. Also was very sweet. If I make it again I will use a smaller pan so the crust is thicker and use less sugar in the crust/topping.
-
These really were easy and yummy. I used butter instead of margarine and pineapple-apricot jam. I also used buttered parchment paper under the bars and they came out easily. I used about 1 1/2 cups jam but would just use the entire bottle next time. I was worried that they would be too sweet but they weren't. I will definitely make these again.
