Base and First Layer:
75g butter
90g raw sugar

70g (2/3 cup) frozen raspberries or blueberries

Almond Topping:
250g almonds
30g raw sugar

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 190 conventional/170 fan forced. Grease 18x27cm slice pan, and line with baking paper.

Set aside.
Add sugar to TM bowl, 3 secs, Speed 10.
Add butter 1 min, Speed 6 until creamed.
Add flours, coconut, lemon juice, and rind then mix 20 secs, Speed 3.
Press into prepared pan and prick base with a fork. Bake 15 mins or until golden.
Allow to cool.
Combine jam and raspberries and spread over base.
Spoon almond topping roughly over raspberry layer and bake further 10-15 mins or until coconut is golden brown. Allow to cool and cut into fingers.

Almond Topping:
Add almonds to TM bowl, 7 secs, Speed 6. (To ground almonds finer – do longer)
Add sugar and eggs, 5 secs, Speed 4.

Tips/Hints:This is berry delicious – do not leave on the bench unattended.
I tried a chunky almond topping, pictured, and will try grinding the almonds more next time to see what I prefer as that is what the recipe specified.

Berry good CP63 - amazing what gems are to be found on the sides of packets.  I have a couple of empty packets in my file to try.
