STRAWBERRY JAM BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 7 x 11 inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, and vanilla extract.
• Pulse until the ingredients are combined, and continue to pulse until the dough comes together into a single clump.
• Reserve about 1 cup of the shortbread dough for topping the crumble bars, and crumble the rest into your prepared baking pan.
• Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan with your fingers.
• Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough.
• Mix the reserved dough with the rolled oats, and crumble evenly over the jam layer. Some of the strawberry filling will show through, and that's good.
• Bake for about 35-40 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Allow to cool before removing from the pan and slicing. Note: shortbread is quite soft right out of the oven, and will firm up as it cools.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, powdered sugar, nuts, and salt for base in a large bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Transfer mixture to a 12x18-inch baking sheet and flatten with the palm of your hand into an even layer. You do not need to butter the pan; the dough has enough butter in it so it will not stick.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Leave oven on.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 cup flour and sugar for topping in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; you do not want big clumps of butter.
• Spread jam over the cooled base layer, then sprinkle on the topping mixture. Return to the oven and bake until topping is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into 24 bars.
