I N G R E D I E N T S
 CRUST:
   2 1/2--3 cups flour (add the full 3 if the dough is too wet)
   1 1/2 cups sugar
   1/4 tsp salt
   1 1/2 cups butter, chilled and cubed
   3/4 cup coconut
   1/2 cup slivered almonds


 FILLING:

   zest of small lemon
   6 cups blackberries


D I R E C T I O N S

1. Preheat oven to 325° convection (350° conventional) and place rack in the middle of the oven.
2. Generously butter a 9 x 13" baking pan.  
3. In food processor, combine dry crust ingredients well.  Add butter and process until mixture is crumbly and butter is well-distributed.
4. Reserve about 2 cups of mixture, then spread the rest in the bottom of the baking pan.  Press well to create an even layer, then bake until golden brown, 20 minutes in our oven.  Remove and cool 15 minutes.
5. Combine all filling ingredients except the blackberries, and mix well. 
6. Sprinkle berries over cooled crust, then pour filling over top.
7. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top of filling.
8. Bake until bars have puffed up and feel firm through to the center, and top is golden brown, around 1 hour.

    We had these warm out of the oven with homemade vanilla ice cream.... yum.
