3/4 cup shortening (part butter/margarine)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
1 cup jam/jelly of choice
Heat oven to 400. Mix shortening and sugar thoroughly. Stir flour, soda, and salt together; blend in. Mix in oatmeal. Press and flatten 1/2 of mixture over bottom of greased 13x9 pan. Spread with jam. Top with remaining mixture, patting lightly. Bake 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.
*Tip from Ruth: sometimes I add a tiny bit of water to the jam/jelly if it is really thick, or I'm having trouble spreading it.
