½ cup butter
or margarine
1 12-oz
package (2 cups) white baking pieces
2
eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup
sugar
1/2 to
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/2 cup
blueberry jam
1/4 cup
sliced almonds
Directions:
Preheat Oven to 325 F. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat. Add 1 cup of the baking pieces (do not stir). Set aside. Grease a 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs and sugar. Add butter mixture to egg mixture; stir just until combined. Stir in almond extract.
In a small
bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; stir
just until combined. Spread half of the batter into prepared pan. Bake in a 325
degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove
from oven.
Meanwhile,
in a small saucepan, melt jam over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread
melted jam evenly over warm crust. Stir the remaining 1 cup of baking pieces
into the remaining batter. Drop the batter in small mounds onto the jam
filling. Sprinkle with almonds. Bake about
35 minutes more or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean
and top is lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
