Raspberry Bars

Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter a 9 by 13-inch pan. In an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and mix just enough to incorporate. Add the nuts and mix a little longer until just blended.

Press about two-thirds of the mixture into the prepared pan. Spread with the raspberry preserves and then crumble the remaining dough on top. Bake for about 1 hour, until the top is lightly browned.

Let the bars cool before cutting.
