Going to make my own cranberry "preserves" since cranberries are in the store now. I kind of went crazy and stacked up a bunch of bags to freeze. And will go back for more.
3 cups oats
1 1⁄2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (10 ounce) jar preserves (apricot is tasty)
DIRECTIONS
combine all ingredients, except preserves.
reserve 1 cup mixture.
press remaining mixture into a greased 9x13 inch pan.
spread with preserves to 1/2 inch of pan.
Sprinkle with remaining mixture.
Bake at 400* for 25-30 minutes , until golden.
Good one
Just made something similar with apple homemade"preserves" (it's apples season), added some almond slices in reserved mixture. Yum
