Orange-Mango Bars

Ta-da! Something else new and different! It's fruity! Sure, it's still a bar, but it's a deliciously sweet and fruity bar. As you can probably tell from the photo, it's been raining here off and on for the last week or so, and I'm pretty tired of it.

So we needed something for desert this week that was sunshin-y!

Your ingredients: Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, oranges, and a mango- ingredient arrangement this week by The Husband, who was very proud of himself.

Mix together some flour, sugar, and butter until it looks dough-y and ready for being a crust. Then press it into the bottom of a foil-lined 9x13, and bake for 15-20 minutes, until it's golden brown.

Squeeze all 3 of your oranges out, then squeeze some mango juice into a bowl, add some more sugar, flour, and the eggs, until it looks like this.

Then pour it on top of the crust and bake some more! It's that easy! Don't worry, the middle will still be very jiggly when you pull it out of the oven- it will set as it cools. Yum, yum.

Orange-Mango Bars

Adapted from From Apples to Zucchini

Crust:

2 cups flour

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

Filling:

Fresh-squeezed juice from 3 orange, about 3/4 cup

Juice of 1 mango

4 eggs

1 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup flour

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.

In an electric mixer on low speed, beat together the crust ingredients until they look like a soft dough. Press it evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Mix together the juices, eggs, remaining flour and sugar until thoroughly combined. Then pour the mixture over the crust and bake for another 22 minutes or so. The middle will still be very jiggly, but it will set as it cools.
