Jam Mazurkas (Inspired by Mean Chef) image

I made Mean Chef's Raspberry Mazurkas this morning to take to my son's boy scout camp tomorrow - they are wonderful and I strongly urge you try them. Having said that, I made a second batch with a number of my own 'tweaks' (and using apricot jam). The recipe has changed, but it is still really good. I hope you try this version, too.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup walnuts, ground
1 1/2 cups coconut
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (I prefer the lesser amount)
1 large egg
12 ounces butter, melted and cooled
1 3/4 lbs jam (use a good-quality one of your choosing)

Steps:

  • Preaheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Break up any clumps of sugar with your finger tips and work the ingredients to mix them.
  • Add melted butter and egg and work with fingers (I used one hand so I wouldn't get both gunky) to combine well.
  • Press half of dough in a foil-lined 15 X 10 inch pan, working well into edges and pressing down to compact.
  • Spread out jam of your choosing to within 1/2 inch of edges of pan - do not be tempted to use more jam than called for, the bars will be too sweet.
  • Take handfuls of remaining dough mixture and crumble it over pan, distributing evenly. Press down with palms of hand to compact - but not too hard.
  • Bake until golden-brown. 50 minutes in my oven (and to my taste).
  • Cool completely before cutting. Cut lengthwise into 4 even rows and crosswise into 6.
