From Bon Appetit. You can substitute a 12 ounce package of frozen blueberries for the fresh-don't thaw. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup old fashioned oats |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch cubes |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
3 cups fresh blueberries |
1 cup blueberry preserves (10-11 ounces) |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel |
Directions:
1. To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter bottom of a 13x9x2 inch metal baking pan. Whisk 2 cups flour, oats, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add 1 cup butter, rub with fingertips until mixture sticks together in small clumps. Transfer 2 cups to a medium bowl; mix in almonds and reserve for topping.
2. Press remaining crumb mixture evenly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust until golden and just firm to touch, about 22 minutes. Cool 10 minutes.
3. To make the filling: Mix blueberries, preserves, 1 tablespoon flour and lemon peel in a medium bowl. Spread evenly over crust in pan, then sprinkle reserved topping over.
4. Bake bars until filling bubbles thickly at edges and topping is golden brown, about 40 minutes; cool in pan on rack. Cut lengthwise into 4 strips, then cut each strip into 6 pieces, forming 24 bars.
