MICROWAVE PEANUT BUTTER AND JAM
BARS
 
6 tbsp. butter, softened
1/3 c. peanut butter
1/3 c. packed light brown sugar
1/3 c. sugar
1 egg
1 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. strawberry jam or preserves

Combine butter, peanut butter, sugars and egg; beat well. Add flour and beat on low speed until mixture is crumbly. Reserve 1 cup crumbs. Press remaining crumbs into 8-inch square glass baking dish. Place on an inverted plate to elevate dish in oven. Cook at Medium 6 1/2 minutes or until base looks dry, rotating dish if necessary. Spread jam on base to within 1/2-inch of edge. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Cook at Medium 6 to 7 minutes or until jam bubbles near the center, rotating dish once. Cool.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
