Grammie's Molasses Fruit Bars

This is a recipe from the family Koher cookbook. My great grandmother Hattie Mae Koher made this family favorite and my mother followed tradition and made them for us all the time when we were kids. They were my favorite! Grandma Mae was born in 1893 in Bremer Washington. Grandma Mae loved to flower and vegetable garden. She was a member of the Rebecca Lodge, Garden club and the Ladies Aide of the Randle, Wa. United Methodist church. She was an active community member who also liked to quilt, embroider, crochet, knit and apparently gave much away to those in need according to the family history. I appreciate so much that our older generations have taken the time to collect these recipes and create a family book to share.
