And this is one of my two very favorite recipes from it! Also my sons favorite for all his 47 years. I put red and green sugar on it at Christmas. The other is the cinnamon leaf ring, which I’ve made every Christmas season for almost that long. I encourage you to try both!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802196807350479642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-30207305138934210512014-02-13T17:32:24.856-06:002014-02-13T17:32:24.856-06:00I found this recipe in one of Farm Journal's c...I found this recipe in one of Farm Journal's cookbooks, which was a wedding gift. These bars are wonderful, so wonderful that despite many years without them, I remember exactly how they tasted and today searched, and found, against all odds, the recipe. I'll take this opportunity to say that I never used a recipe in that book that failed...even if I hadn't tried it before inviting guests, I knew that any recipe I used would be successful, and it was. If you need a truly distinguished bar, make these...they have just enough raggedy edges to appear totally confident, the taste is complex with the lemon accenting the richness in an exciting subtle way, and the juicy crunch is delicious. If you can find frozen grated coconut, without preservatives and/or added sugar, the bars will have a totally authentic flavor...I've never tried using fresh coconut, but that's probably the pinnacle!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03369513165791313089noreply@blogger.com
