For the crumb
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 sticks butter, chilled and cut into cubes
- 1 large egg
For the filling
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 ½ tbs lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 13 oz. strawberry preserves
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbs cornstarch
To make the crumb
In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon. Pulse a couple of times until everything is combined. Add the butter and egg to the flour mixture. Pulse until it resembles a coarse meal.
Taking half of the crumb mixture, pat it into the bottom of your prepared pan. It will be on the thin side.
To assemble the bars
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over top of the strawberry layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumbs on top are lightly browned. Allow it to cool completely before cutting it into squares.
