Ingredients




1 1/2 cups Flour
1 cup Brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup Butter
1 1/2 cups Seedless Blackberry jam,*
1/2 cup Chopped pecans

Preparation

1 * Or preserves or conserve 2 Bar cookies are easy to prepare because they are spread in a pan and baked all at one time. They should be cooled before cutting. 3 This is such an easy recipe-but it tastes like you spent hours preparing it. It's great for brunch and coffee klatches! 4 Preheat oven to 375 . 5 In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and oatmeal. Cut in all but two tablespoons butter. Press 1/2 of flour mixture evenly into a greased 13 x 9-inch pan. Spread jam over batter in pan, then top with remaining flour mixture. Dot with two tablespoons butter and with chopped pecans. 6 Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes. Let cool completely, then cut into rectangles. 7 Variation: Use other types of jam, such as apricot. 8 Yield: 24. Suzanne J. Brown, owner SBJ Communications, Skillman, NJ
