Preparation

Step 1

Base:

In bowl, beat together butter, sugar, lime zest and salt until fluffy; stir in flour in 2 additions to form coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 cup; press remaining into parchment paper-lined 8-inch (2 L) square cake pan.

Blueberry Lime Filling:

Stir together sugar, cornstarch and lime juice; toss with blueberries to coat. With potato masher, lightly crush berries just until some liquid is released. Pour over crust.

Pecan Topping:

Combine reserved crust mixture, pecans and butter; sprinkle over filling, pressing gently. Bake in 375 F (190 C) oven until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown, about 1 hour. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
