Contest-Winning Strawberry Jam Bars
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.
YIELD: 2 dozen.
I bake for a group of seniors every week, and this is one of the goodies they request most. I always keep the ingredients on hand for last-minute baking emergencies. Give these bars your own twist by replacing the strawberry jam with the fruit jam of your choice.
