Microwave Oatmeal Jam Bars image

I've had this recipe for many years. We got our first microwave in 1983 and this recipe was in the book that came with it. (Sharp Carousel microwave cookbook) It's quick, easy and delicious. The recipe says it makes 32 small bars, but it's hard to cut them that small.
