1 hrs
Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This allows the jam to set and the squares to hold their shape. (60 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a pleasant crunch.
Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit preserves. Seedless raspberry or apricot jam work particularly well.
If you don't have walnuts, pecans or almonds are a great substitute.
Store the cooled squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

May 30, 2024Next time, I'm going to try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for a sweet and salty twist.
