How To Make jam bars

Step 1

Mix all ingredients except the preserves. Press one half of this mixture into a buttered 8 inch square pan or a small rectangular pan.

Step 2

Spread with a 10-12 ounce jar of preserves
Step 3

Sprinkle second half of the mixture over the top of the preserves and pat lightly.
Step 4

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until light brown. Let cool completely and then cut into squares. Taste yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream when still warm from the oven.
