I intended to make a pie, but they are such a pain to make that I went
searching for a lemon bar recipe instead.  I found one that calls for a
layer of preserves between the crust and the lemon part.  Hmmmm, I thought,
I have a bit of Debra's awesome Jammin' Jelly left (much more like preserves
than jelly actually...) so I altered the ingredients a bit and came up with
this:

Crust:
2 C flour
1/2 tsp peper powder (used some I made from an assortment of dried peppers
from last year's crop)
1/2 C confectioner's sugar
1 C butter, softened

Filling:
1/3 C preserves
4 eggs
1 3/4 C sugar
6 T lemon juice
2 T grated lemon peel
1/3 C flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
additional confectioner's sugar for topping

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix crust ingredients in a large bowl, cutting in the
butter until crumbly.  (Or, you can use a food processor).  Press the crust
mixture into the bottom of a 9-in square pan.  Bake for 30 minutes, remove
and let cool for at least 20 minutes.

Reduce oven temperature to 325.

Beat eggs with an electric mixer until foamy, add rest of ingredients except
for preserves, and beat until well combined.  Spread the preserves over the
crust, then pour lemon mixture on top.  Bake for 35-40 minutes until set.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.  (I sprinkled a bit
more pepper powder too.) Let cool before cutting into bars.
