These crumbly bars are loaded with strawberry jam and then topped with a tangy, refreshing Meyer lemon glaze!
Ever since I made these blueberry crumb bars, I’ve been a bit obsessed with making bars. They’re such easy desserts to whip up, and perfectly portable for any occasion. Just throw them in a pretty box with some wrinkled up parchment paper and you’re set!
Now I made these bars to use up some lingering Meyer lemons with my most trusted Microplane Premium Classic Zester/Grater, and it’s amazing what a little bit of lemon zest can do in these bars. They bring about such an enhanced depth of flavor without being overly tangy or overbearing. And this zester makes it so incredibly easy to scrape the zest from the lemon. After using this zester, I’ve been utilizing it constantly, throwing in freshly grated Parm to all of my savory dishes and lemon/lime zest in everything else!
But back to these bars. They’re oh-so-crumbly with just enough sweetness from the jam, and a Meyer lemon glaze that will rock your world. They may look like ordinary bars, but believe me, you will be addicted right after the first bite.
