  • Yield: 38 bars

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7x11-inch baking pan.
  • Cream sugar and butter together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer. Beat in egg and lemon zest.
  • Stir flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, and cloves together in a separate bowl. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Dough will be stiff and may need to be kneaded by hand in order to come together.
  • Divide dough in half. Press one half into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place remaining half onto a lightly floured surface and roll it with your hands into a long, 1/2-inch diameter rope.
  • Spread jam over the dough in the pan. Cut dough rope into lengths and arrange them across the jam in a lattice pattern.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is golden, about 40 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set the pan on a wire rack to cool before cutting into 1x2-inch bars.
