Here is how you make Almond Raspberry Bars:

Line a 9-inch square metal cake pan with parchment (baking) paper and set aside. Base: In large bowl, mix flour with sugar; with pastry blender cut in butter until mixture is moist and crumbly. (mine never went moist, I had to press it into the pan whilst still dry crumbly but it turned out in the end). Press firmly over prepared pan. Bake in centre of 350F /180C oven until light golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool; spread with jam.Filling: In food processor, mix together sugar, marzipan and butter until smooth. Pulse in eggs, vanilla, almond extract and salt. Add flour, pulse just to combine. Spread over jam and sprinkle with almonds. Bake in centre of 350F / 180C oven until set and light golden, about 30 minutes. Again, mine took much longer and I had to cover the pan so the almonds didn't burn. Let cool on rack. Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze up to 1 month.
