Kiwi Bars....

I love lemon bars, the tanginess, crumbly crust and layer of confectionery sugar on the top are like a perfect symphony to me. So, in my attempts to make a convertible citrus bar recipe, where you could switch out the lemon for grapefruit, lime, blood oranges etc., an new creation was born. Although I had a hunkering for a citrus bar, I found I had no citrus in the house that day, but I had plenty of Kiwi. Kiwi can be tangy, so I thought "what the heck" and away I went...

Did you know 2 Kiwi have 250% of your daily Vitamin C?

I have made this recipe twice now, and think I have it down. They are tangy, crumbly, and delicious... if you don't believe me you can ask my friend Steve who seems to love them.

Kiwi Bars

1 c flour

1/2 c softened butter

1/2 c powdered sugar

Cut together until the butter is crumbly and the size of peas

Press into an ungreased 8X8 pan

Cook at 350 for 20 minutes.

3 eggs

1 c sugar

3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 Kiwi peeled and chopped

Mix together in a blender till Kiwi is all pureed.

Pour over crust which has cooled for 2 min

Back at 350 for 45 min
Once cool cover with powdered sugar
Cut and serve

Couple notes:

1. Be sure you do not let your kids listen for the timer when they are watching Sponge Bob on TV, as in my last round, they were over cooked by 5 min and the edges were crispy.

2. Also be sure to use ripe Kiwi, they are sweeter and easier to blend.

3. If your Kiwi mixture looks a little yellow, add 1-2 drops of green food coloring to make the final product more appealing.

4. I love using my Immersion blender for pureeing. If you do not have one, you should really think about it!

Let me know what you think..... & Enjoy!
