3/4 cup margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
1 cup uncooked oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts
10 oz. strawberry preserves
Beat margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Add combined dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in oats and nuts. Press half of oat mixture into greased 13 X 9 inch baking pan; spread with preserves to within 1/4 inch of edge. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into bars. Makes 28 square bars. (Recipe from the TV Guide apparently)
This recipe is pretty good and also pretty easy. I was anxious to try it because I thought it would be a good way to get rid of all those half-used odd flavors of jam I had left over in the fridge, so I made half peach preserves, part cherry jelly, and part strawberry preserves. Bam, got rid of two jars just like that! Everybody liked them, and some of the kids went back for seconds. Not the most fabulous recipe, but good in a pinch I think.
