Raspberry Bars

• 1 cup Softened Butter
• 3/4 cups Sugar
• 1 whole Egg
• 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
• 2-1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
• 10 ounces, weight Jar Seedless Raspberry Jam
• 1/2 cups Chopped Toasted Pecans Or Walnuts

1. Beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla, beating until well blended. Add the flour and beat well. Reserve one cup of this dough and set aside.
2. Press remaining dough into a lightly greased 9x9 pan and press down well and evenly. Spread jam over the top of the dough. Stir the nuts into the remaining one cup of dough and sprinkle this evenly over the jam. Do not press this down.
3. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-28 minutes or until the top is lightly brown. Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack. You'll be amazed at how welll this cuts and doesn't fall apart. Freezes well.
