How to Make Momma's Lemon Berry Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup powdered sugar, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter or margarine, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
  4. Bake the crust for 12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. While the crust bakes, in a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  6. Add 3 large eggs, ½ cup lemon juice, and ¼ cup berry juice (raspberry and/or mulberry) to the dry ingredients. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Gently fold in 2 cups raspberries and 1 cup mulberries (or substitute with 3 cups of your favorite berries).
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the pre-baked crust.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the filling is set. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
