Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter, cubed
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup apricot preserves
3/4 cup raspberry preserves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Combine eggs and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture until blended. Cover and refrigerate a fourth of the dough for at least 45 minutes.
  • Press remaining dough into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. 1-in. baking pan. Spread 1/4 cup apricot preserves in a 1-3/4-in. strip over one long side of crust. Spread 1/4 cup of raspberry preserves in a 1-3/4-in. strip adjoining the apricot strip. Repeat twice.
  • Roll out reserved dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into 1/2-in. strips; make a lattice top. Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire rack. Cut into bars.
  • Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
