Ingredients

Crust

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter

Filling

2 medium (2 cups) fresh mangoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes*

1 cup peach preserves, warmed

1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted, finely chopped

Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 to 2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Fat Free Half & Half

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. Combine flour, sugar and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup crumb mixture; set aside.

Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven.

Top hot, partially baked crust with mango and preserves. Combine reserved crumb mixture and almonds; sprinkle over preserves. Bake for 21 to 23 minutes or until crumbs are golden. Cool completely.

Combine powdered sugar, lemon peel and vanilla in small bowl. Stir in enough half & half for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cooled bars.

*Substitute 1 (24-ounce) jar refrigerated mango in light syrup, drained.

Recipe Tip

- To toast nuts, spread evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350°F., stirring once, for 5 to 7 minutes or until light areas of nuts begins to brown.

- Fully ripe mangoes should be green/yellow to red in color, smell fruity and feel fairly firm when gently pressed. Avoid any that are very soft or bruised. If the mangoes at your grocery store are not yet ripe, place them in a paper bag and let them ripen at room temperature for a day or two.

This is one amazing recipe. I added a little fresh nutmeg to the crumb mixture. I did not have enough jam so added some kumquat ginger to make a cup. Did not sliver the almonds but chopped them. added lemon juice to icing instead of vanilla and only made half of the required icing. ROCKING BTS.

these were delicious. I didn't have quite enough mango so I used 1/2 peach and mango. I served them to my ladies church group and they all wanted the recipe.

Cheesy Alfredo with Chicken & Broccoli- A Deli Cheese Delivers a “Delizioso” Dish

As a busy mom of three, I have days when not a single square inch of open space remains on my week-at-a-glance planner. Perhaps, I need a larger planner - or a few additional hours in my day. Or, maybe an extra driver.
