Description

Ingredients

• 2 C flour
• 2 C ground walnuts
• ½ lb (8oz) sweet unsalted butter
• 1 C sugar
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 TBSP sour cream
• zest of 1 lemon
• 2 jars Smuckers Fruit & Honey Triple Berry Fruit Spread (approx. 18oz)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add egg yolks, lemon zest, and sour cream.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flour and ground walnuts.
• Add dry ingredients to the wet, combine well to form a soft dough.
• Take ⅔ batter/dough and line bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Press up the sides just a bit so jam doesnt leak out & stick to the pan sides.
• Layer the fruit spread evenly over the dough.
• With remaining ⅓ dough, roll out flat and cut small (1/2 - 1 strips). Use strips to form a lattice top over the fruit layer.
• Bake for 45 minutes.
• Let cool before cutting. Serve & enjoy!
