Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease an 9 x 9 baking pan, set aside.
• 2. Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. ( I used my food processor for this step ). Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes, and add to the flour mixture. Using a fork for pastry cutter or food processor, cut the butter in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 3/4 cup of crumbs for topping.
• 3. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
• 4. Beat the eggs in a large bowl, then add the white and brown sugar, sour cream, flour, salt, orange zest and vanilla extract. Gently fold in the berries and pour the mixture over the cooled crust.
• 5. Sprinkle the remaining crumbs evenly over the fruit filling. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes.
• 6. Cool well before cutting. I serve these alone or with a scoop of ice cream, after warming the bars in the microwave. Enjoy!

BLACKBERRY CRUNCH BARS

Steps:

• For the crust:.
• Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
• Place the butter, sugar, flour, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
• Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. You can set aside the bowl to use for the topping.
• Bake until the surface is dry and the edges are very lightly browned, about 20-22 minutes. Let cool at least 20 minutes before adding filling.
• For the filling:.
• Pop a berry into your mouth. If it's an early-season berry from the store, it might be a little tart. If so, and you want make the filling a bit sweeter, add the extra 2 Tablespoons of sugar to the bowl in the next step.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup sugar (+ 2 T extra if needed), cornstarch, and salt. Stir in the berries and zest until combined. Set aside.
• For the topping:.
• In the bowl of the electric mixer, place the butter, sugar, cinnamon, salt, flour and vanilla. On low speed with the paddle attachment, mix until the butter is in small pea-sized chunks and the mixture begins to clump together. (This could also be done by hand with a pastry blender).
• To assemble:.
• Spread the filling on the cooled crust. Especially if the berries are large, the filling might not evenly cover the crust. That's OK.
• Spread the topping over the filling. The whole thing will look pretty lumpy. That's OK.
• Bake until the topping has browned lightly and the berry filling is bubbling, about 40 minutes.
• Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars. They are best eaten with a fork because they're a little crumbly.
