Preheat the oven to 350°F/190°C. Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper so it hangs over the sides.
In a large bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the flour, brown sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons of lemon zest, and butter until a crumbly dough forms.
Press two-thirds of the dough into an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, gently mix the raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and remaining 2 teaspoons of lemon zest. Spoon the mixture into an even layer over the dough.
Dollop the jam over the raspberry mixture. Crumble the remaining dough over the filling.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until the crumble topping is lightly golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
