Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 pint fresh raspberries (or about 1 cup frozen raspberries)
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar for filling
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour for filling
6 eggs
Juice from 3 lemons

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9" x 13" baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
Blend raspberries with 1 tablespoon of water until smooth, then strain to remove seeds.
In a bowl, mix butter, flour, salt, and sugar until smooth; press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.
In another bowl, combine sugar and flour; whisk in eggs and lemon juice. Gradually add raspberry puree until you reach your desired pink shade.
Pour filling over baked crust and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes until edges pull away from the pan.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares or triangles.
