So, I am the first to admit that I am not the greatest cook in town. I actually wouldn't even be comfortable saying the word "cook" and "Tami" in the same sentence. However, I have mastered the recipe for Raspberry Bars in the At Home, At Sea cookbook that I received from Lovey last year. This cookbook was written by the owners of Maine's very own J. & E. Riggin windjammer sailboat. The book is amazing and the recipes look amazing; however, I can only attest to the Raspberry Bars recipe. I am still getting up my courage to venture on to the next culinary attempt.
For those of you who want a simple recipe to make as a treat for the kiddos, here goes:
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, room temp
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 large egg
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup raspberry preserves
- preheat oven to 350
- butter 9x12 pan
- cream together butter and sugar
- stir in the egg until mixed well
- press half of the dough in prepared pan
- spread jam evenly on top
- crumble remaining dough on top of jam as best you can
- bake about 30 minutes until top is golden brown
- cool in pan and cut
These make an excellent addition to a Valentine's Day dinner!

Hi Tami,
ReplyDeleteWe haven't met, but I've heard much about you from the Maine contingent. I'm so glad you like the Raspberry Bar recipe. It's one that's asked for often on the Riggin. Happy Valentine's Day!
