Cherry Bars

Ingredients
Crust 

• 1 1/2 cups flour 
• 1/2 cup cold butter 
• 5 tablespoons powdered sugar 

• 3 eggs 
• 1 cup sugar 
• 1 cup brown sugar 
• 1 teaspoon baking powder 
• 1/2 cup flour 
• 3 cups pitted sour cherries 

Method

Crust: 
Mix together well, either in a food processor or by cutting in by hand. Don't get the crust mixture too warm or it will be sticky and hard to handle. Pat into a 9 by 13 inch pan. 
Bake for 15 minutes at 350° F. 
Filling: 
If using a food processor pour into work bowl and process until well mixed.  Then add 3 cups pitted sour cherries and chop by bursts of the on/off switch. Don't chop too finely or the fruit will lose its identity. If using a mixer or by hand, mix the ingredients except fruit. 
Chop the fruit and add to mixture. Pour over the partially baked crust and bake for another 45 minutes.
