Servings: 12

2 3/4 c Unbleached Flour
1 ts Baking Powder
1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c Butter
2 1/2 c Cheddar; Sharp, Shredded
2 ea Eggs; Lg, Beaten
1/2 c Peach Preserves
1/2 c Strawberry Preserves

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Sift the dry ingredients together and cut
in the butter until the pieces are the size of peas. Add the cheese and
toss lightly. Add the eggs and blend well. Chill one quarter of the
dough. Press the remaining dough into the bottom and sides of an ungreased
15 1/2 X 10 1/2 X 1/2-inch jelly roll pan. Spread half the dough with the
peach preserves and the other half with the strawberry preserves. Roll
the chilled dough, on a lightly floured surface, to 1/4-inch thick. Cut
the dough into 1/2-inch strips and place the strips diagonally across the
top of the preserves making a lattice of the strips. Press the ends of
the dough against the side dough to seal. Bake in the preheated oven for
35 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool before cutting into 2 X 3-inch
bars.
