Blackberry Pie Bars


It's summer and the blackberries are looking amazing! A small 6 ounce container of these beauties makes a big impact in these blackberry pie bars! They are definitely a new, easy dessert recipe for the summer!


Crust Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 sticks margarine

Filling:

2 eggs
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. light sour cream
1/4 c. plus 2 Tbs. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
6 oz. blackberries, cut in half


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking sheet with tinfoil and spray with non stick cooking spray. With a food processor, pulse the crust ingredients together until a crumbly dough forms together. Reserve 3/4 c. of the dough and pour  the rest into the prepared pan. Spread out and press down the dough. Bake for 12-15 minutes.


In a medium size bowl, combine the filling ingredients together (minus the blackberries) until smooth.


Sprinkle the blackberries on top of the crust and pour the filling batter on top.


Sprinkle the reserved dough on top and bake for another 45 minutes. Let cool fully before cutting into rectangles.

Strawberry Blackberry Bounce


This was my first attempt making "Bounce". I adapted my Aunty Jean's Blackberry Bounce recipe to accommodate strawberries. I was lucky enough after she passed away to have a sip from a bottle of Blackberry Bounce that she had stored in her kitchen. It doesn't taste quite the same as the way she made it, but it's as close as I will ever get. I would love to try this recipe with blueberries, so be on the lookout this summer for a Blueberry Bounce recipe!

Ingredients:

2 c. chopped fresh strawberries
2 c. fresh blackberries
1 c. sugar
3. vodka


   
Step 1: Add the berries and sugar together in a large mason jar. Mix together and slightly mash.


 2. Add the vodka.

 3. Wait 4-5 weeks, shaking the jar occasionally.


4. Strain the fruit and put in a separate container (I saved to use in a boozy recipe).
Using a funnel, pour the booze into a good container with a tight seal.


5. Pour into glasses and enjoy! 


Love and miss you every day Aunty Jean!
