TWD: Hungarian Shortbread

I'm way late on this one, because we've been working on planting our garden. We officially finished the initial round today with a zucchini plant and some rhubarb. Although it's still too early to use my own rhubarb, the jam for this recipe was still fun to make.

We doubled the sugar in the jam because I've got more of a sweet tooth. It would probably have been okay with the recommended sugar since the shortbread was so sweet, but I didn't  want to take any chances. The funniest part of this recipe to me was grating the frozen shortbread dough. It ended up looking more like a mozzarella and tomato casserole when it went into the oven.


I think it turned out pretty well and much more dessert-like when it came out of the oven though. Overall I'd call this recipe a success!

  1. It looks great! I thought it was kind of weird to shred it too, but also kind of fun (once I used the food processor anyway). ;)

  2. Funny! You're right, it did kind of look like a casserole going in! I think it was yummier, though.

  6. I think I would have gone with a food processor, too, if my nieces hadn't enjoyed grating the dough so much.
