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!
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). ;)
ReplyDeleteIt really was fun with the food processor!
DeleteFunny! You're right, it did kind of look like a casserole going in! I think it was yummier, though.
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely yummier than a casserole!
DeleteIt looks great! Congrats on getting the garden planted. I have rhubarb and some fruit trees but that's all at home.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool you have fruit trees! When we move somewhere more permanent I really want to plant some!
DeleteI have no idea how I didn't read the instructions that called for a grated dough hahaha yours looks great!
ReplyDeleteHaha funny!
DeleteVery smart to use the food processor!
ReplyDeleteIt looks good. THanks for baking along this week.
I think I would have gone with a food processor, too, if my nieces hadn't enjoyed grating the dough so much.
