Absolutely yummy! I used an 8 x 11 pan and pressed 3/4ths of the dough in the bottom. I topped the dough with 11 oz. of Marionberry jam and topped the jam with sliced almonds before crumbling the remaining dough over it to finish. The almonds, jam and buttery crust are a perfect combination! Thanks for sharing, Pumpkie!
