Blueberry Bars

Blueberry Bars

Ingredients:

Bottom Shortbread Cookie Crust:

• 1/2 cup (2 oz) confectioners' sugar
• 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 oz) unbleached all-purpose flour (measured with scoop and sweep)
• 3/4 cup (6 oz) unsalted butter
• pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon lemon thyme, finely chopped (optional) – my kids didn’t notice it and it makes it more interesting for us adults. You can add more if you love the taste of thyme.

Blueberry Filling:

• 6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
