Raspberry Linzer Bars Recipe
The crust for these bars has plenty of spices and walnuts-perfect foil for the tangy-sweet raspberry preserves.

This looks like a delicious and very easy way to get to Linzertortenland. Personally, I'd cut back on the cloves, because I find them overpowering, but I love the rest. Do you find this crust mixture easy to distribute in the pan? That was another problem for me, as was getting the bars out of the pan. I would line the pan with parchment paper, and use plastic wrap to smooth out the dough.


I'll be making this one! Thank you Ma'am!
