Instructions
- Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of a greased 10x15x1” baking pan.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Crema together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well.
- Add the flour and salt. Blend well.
- Spoon the batter over the pecans. Dampen your hands and gently press to spread the dough evenly over the pecans.
- Sprinkle the chopped fruit over the batter. Press down on the fruit slightly so it pushes gently into the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.
- Once the bars are cooled, prepare a powdered sugar glaze.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. If needed, add additional heavy cream until the glaze is at drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bars.
- Sprinkle with chopped pecans, if desired.
- Cut the bars and store in an airtight container.
