Ingredients
1 cup whole almonds
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour, cut into small pieces
1 stick butter
½ tsp salt
8 oz fruit preserves (I have used both raspberry and blackberry)
½ cup slivered almonds for topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor combine sugar and almonds until finely ground.
Add flour and salt to combine.
Add butter to make a crumbly dough.
Pat about 2/3 of dough into and 8x8 baking dish. (Line with parchment paper for easy removal)
Spoon preserves on top in dollops. (Don’t try to spread it out, it will make a mess.)
Top with the remaining dough.
Sprinkle slivered almonds on top.
Bake for 30 minutes until sides are lightly browned.
Cool before cutting.
