1 1/2 c. flour, sifted
1 tsp. baking powder
1 c. light brown sugar
1 1/2 c. regular rolled oats
3/4 c. butter, softened
1 (16 oz.) jar jam (apricot or seedless red raspberry)

Mix flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and oats in large bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Pat 2/3 of this mixture into a lightly greased metal 9 x 13 inch pan. Do not press too firmly. Spread on jam. Cover with remaining crumbs. Bake 35 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool. Cut into bars when slightly warm. Makes 30 bars.

NOTE: Set jar in HOT water to soften jam so it spreads more easily.
