Yummy Pineapple Bars


1 C packed brown sugar
1 C flour
1/2 c butter
1 1/2 c coconut
3/4 c sugar
1 T lemon juice
1 C pineapple
1 T butter
3 T cornstarch

Combine brown sugar, flour, butter, coconut, and sugar until crumbly. Spread about tow-thirds of the mixture in a 9-inch square pan. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine lemon juice, pineapple, butter, and cornstarch. Bring to a boil while stirring over medium heat. Cool slightly. Spread over bottom layer. Cover with remaining crumbs, pressing down with your hand. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cut while warm.
*I was skeptical as to the yumminess of these bars last night when I was mixing them up - but they really are yummy! I don't know what they taste like warm but I tried one at lunch today after storing them in the fridge, you know, just to make sure they are edible, and they are really good cold! Hooray for dessert for lunch!
