Original Recipe from: Lucy Griffin-Bowers
The original name of this recipe was “Mary’s Apricot Bars”, but I’ve taken the liberty of changing it. I have no idea who Mary was, or how my grandma came by this recipe, but I’ve always thought of it as hers. Since I am not a fan of apricots my grandma made them for me with raspberries instead. My grandma was like that, if you didn’t like an ingredient, she would change it. This recipe will work with any kind of preserves. Try it with your favorite flavor and make it your own. My granddaughter and I made these bars together and had the best time, check out the story here. Enjoy!
