Raspberry-Lemon Bars

Since this is my first post I decided to make it personal. When I was little I would visit my grandparent's beach house. My cousins and I would have a lemonade stand where we would sell lemonade, pink lemonade, and cookies. My favorite thing we sold was the pink lemonade, because I was a little girl and I liked everything that was pink. But I also liked the taste of it too. That is why I decided to try to make lemon bars that remind me of Pink Lemonade. So here is the recipe and I hope you enjoy my Raspberry-Lemon Bars.

Crust:

2 sticks of butter (room temperature)

3 cups flour

½ a cup sugar

2 tea spoons lemon zest

Juice of 1 lemon

Raspberry Sauce:

½ cup Raspberry’s

¼ cup sugar

Filling:

4 eggs

1 cup sugar

The juice of 3 lemons

1 tablespoons of lemon zest

1 teaspoon corn starch

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. First mix the flour and sugar together until combined. Next zest and juice the lemon and add to flour mixture. Then add the butter and mix until the mixture turns into crumbs, and add to a 9x13 buttered pan. Pat down until it is flat and covers the bottom of the pan and an put in the over for 15 minutes.

 While waiting for the crust start on the raspberry sauce. Add the raspberries and sugar into a small sauce pan over low heat. Then use a fork to mash the raspberry mixture until it turns into a sauce.

Then in a bowl add the eggs, sugar, lemon zest and juice. Strain the raspberry mixture to get no seeds and add to the filling and combine. pour the filling onto the crust and cook for 15 minutes, and enjoy!
