1/3 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
3/4 cup blackberry jam, apricot preserves, or red raspberry preserves
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
* Stir together 1 3/4 cups flour and finely chopped nuts - set aside. In large mixer bowl, beat butter/margarine until softened. Add powdered sugar and lemon peel; beat until fluffy. Add flour mixture and beat until crumbly.
* Press two-thirds of the crumbs onto the bottom of an ungreased 9x9x2 inch baking pan. Spread with jam. Stir 1 tablespoon (I needed more) flour into remaining crunb mixture and sprinkle over the jam.
* Baske at 375F oven form 25 to 30 minutes or until crumbs are golden. Cut into bars - makes 24.
