RASPBERRY ALMOND SQUARES
Steps:
- Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with plastic wrap that extends over the sides, then coat the plastic wrap with the vegetable oil; set aside.
- In a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, cook the jam, applesauce, and sugar until the mixture registers 240°F on a sugar thermometer (about 15 minutes), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula. Immediately remove the pan from the heat, stir in the lemon extract and chopped almonds, and turn the mixture into the prepared pan. Press the whole almonds on the top of the candy in evenly spaced rows of 8 across in each direction. Let the candy cool completely at room temperature (about 45 minutes).
- Remove the candy from the pan by lifting out the plastic wrap. Invert the candy onto a cutting board, peel the plastic wrap off the back, and reinvert the candy so that the nut side is up. With a large chef's knife, and using the whole almonds as a guide, cut the candy evenly into 1-inch squares.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper. Melt and temper the chocolate (see pages 25-30). Holding a square by the top half, dip the bottom and sides of the square into the chocolate, leaving the top exposed. Remove the square from the chocolate, carefully shake off the excess chocolate, and place the square onto the paper. Repeat with the remaining squares. Let the chocolate set up at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Place each square in a paper candy cup. Between layers of waxed paper, in a tightly covered container wrapped in several layers of aluminum foil, the squares will keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator. They are best eaten at room temperature.
- VARIATIONS
- Substitute blackberry jam or strawberry jam for the raspberry jam. Substitute other nuts for the almonds.
RASPBERRY ALMOND BARS
This is my favorite bar recipe. It tastes delicious and is well worth the effort! This would be a treat on anybody's Christmas tray or maybe even a potluck. I used Oil crust for 1 pie Recipe #82181 for the pie dough and it worked out great! Hope you enjoy it!

AUNT HELEN'S ALMOND-RASPBERRY RICE SQUARES
An old family favourite! They were sure to show up on the platters of cookies and squares put out by my great-aunts at Christmas, and I always made a bee-line for them. Now I can make them myself. For the pastry, try half a recipe of Marie's French Pie Pastry. (Recipe #45383)I have made them gluten-free, by using brown rice flour in the pastry, and white rice flour in the topping, which worked out very well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.

- Spread the jam over the pastry.
- Cream the butter and sugar.
- Beat in the eggs and almond extract.
- Mix in the salt and rice flour.
- Scrape the batter over the jam, and spread it out carefully and evenly.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
- Let cool.
- Cream the remaining butter, and beat in the icing sugar and almond extract.

- Preheat oven to 350°F. Light grease or spray a 9x9-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper creating a sling for easy removal. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the sugar, baking powder, salt and flour. Add the butter and mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until lightly blended. Add the egg and almond extract and mix until the dough comes together and all ingredients are incorporated.
- Spoon the jam over the lightly baked crust. Spread the jam evenly over the crust leaving a dry ¼-inch border around the edges. This helps prevent the jam from sticking to the sides of the pan and burning.

- Add the cold butter (cut in pieces) egg, and almond extract to the bowl. Pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly, then pulse/process until the dough just starts coming together, but it will still be crumbly.
- Put 2/3 of the dough in the bottom of the prepared pan. I like to scatter it all over the surface and then gently pat down with the back of a measureing cup, finishing with an offset spatula to smooth. Get it even, but don't compact it down super hard.
