(1) 16 ounce container strawberries, hulled and cut in 4
1/2teaspoonsalt

1stick salted butter, melted
1cuplight brown sugar
1teaspoonlime zest
1large egg, at room temperature
1cupflour
1/2cupwhite chocolate chips
Instructions
Place strawberries in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt and sugar, toss to coat, and let sit for 30 minutes.
Place strawberries and their juices in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Cook - stirring occasionally - for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has slightly thickened and the berries are soft enough to easily be smashed by a fork. Remove from heat, stir well (smashing any large chunks of fruit) and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper; set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and lime zest; beat well. Add egg and beat until fully incorporated. Stir in flour and chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top flat. Add dots of jam all around the top of the batter.
Place pan in oven and bake for 28-30 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut into small squares and serve.
*Blondies will keep for 3 days when stored in an airtight container
