How to Make Blue Ridge Blackberry Lemon Bars
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of lemon juice over the oat mixture. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Reserve 2 cups of the oat mixture. Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan, forming an even crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly set.
- Let the crust cool slightly. Spread 1 ½ cups of your favorite blackberry jam evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the jam layer, pressing down gently.
- Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
