• Spread the jam over it

STRAWBERRY JAM BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 7 x 11 inch tart pan with a removable bottom, and set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, and vanilla extract.
• Pulse until the ingredients are combined, and continue to pulse until the dough comes together into a single clump.
• Reserve about 1 cup of the shortbread dough for topping the crumble bars, and crumble the rest into your prepared baking pan.
• Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the pan with your fingers.
• Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the dough.
• Mix the reserved dough with the rolled oats, and crumble evenly over the jam layer. Some of the strawberry filling will show through, and that's good.
• Bake for about 35-40 minutes until just starting to turn golden brown on the edges.
• Allow to cool before removing from the pan and slicing. Note: shortbread is quite soft right out of the oven, and will firm up as it cools.

STRAWBERRY OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch rectangular pan.

Sprinkle the other half of the oat mixture over the top and pat lightly. Bake until light brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely, and then cut into squares.
