Cherry Crumb Bars – We Love God!

All Christian men and women supernaturally have the positional unity Jesus prayed for in John seventeen. If they are husband and wife, they are also united by God into “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). The Hebrew word for “one” is echad which means “one, alike, altogether, or all at once.” The very same word is used in Deuteronomy 6:4 for “the Lord is one.” In other words, somehow God makes the husband and wife into “one” as the Trinity is one, a compound unity.

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat oven to 350Â°. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with foil,
letting ends extend above pan on 2 sides.  Shortbread: Process flour,
sugar and salt in a food processor to mix.  Scatter butter on top and
process just until a dough forms. Press  dough gently over bottom of
prepared pan. Pour egg white over dough  and tilt pan until egg white
covers dough completely, then pour off  excess. Bake until golden
brown, 20-25 minutes.  Meanwhile prepare filling and topping: Bring 3/4
cup of the cherry  juice, the sugar and salt to a boil in a medium
saucepan. Whisk  cornstarch into remaining 1/4 cup (cold) cherry juice,
then whisk  into boiling mixture until mixture thickens, boils and
turns clear,  3-4 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stir in cherries.
Topping: Process flour, both sugars and salt a few seconds to mix.  Add
oats and butter and process a few seconds until evenly blended.  Remove
base from oven and increase oven temperature to 425Â°. Spread  filling
evenly over base, then sprinkle topping evenly over filling.  Bake
until topping is lightly browned, about 25 minutes, then broil  until
topping is a slightly deeper brown, watching carefully that it  doesn't
scorch. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack before lifting  foil by
ends onto a cutting board. Cut in 16 squares; remove from  foil.
