Raspberry Slice
Back to recipe list
Source & History
When plastic containers of goodies arrived at our house from Grandma one of the first things that the kids looked for (after the peach balls) was the Raspberry Slice. It was one of the first things that Leah put on her list of sweets for Grandma to make for her wedding. This recipe is a combination of two from a very old MEB (Mackay Electricity Board) recipe Book. They were the old version of Ergon and they had cooking experts and you used to be able to go to cooking lessons and demonstrations at the MEB. It was where I learned to cook with my first ever microwave.
