1 cup Seedless raspberry spread
1⁄2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp Turbinado sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Line an 8” square baking pan with parchment, set aside.
For the crust: Using a stand mixer or a medium bowl with a hand mixer, blend the sugar and melted butter. Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt - mix to combine. You should have a crumbly mixture.
Raspberry Blueberry filling: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, lemon juice and raspberry spread. Fold in the blueberries to combine.
