Raspberry Oatmeal Bars--Katie

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup seedless raspberry jam (I tend to use more than 3/4 a cup, can also use any flavor jam you like - apricot is particularly yummo, I have also used solo filling and they have turned out great)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease one 8 inch square pan and line with greased foil. Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and rolled oats. Rub in the butter using your hands or a pastry blender (works fine in kitchen aid mixer) to form a crumbly mixture. Press 2 cups of the mixture into bottom of prepared pan. Spread the jam to within 1/4 inch of the edge. Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture over the top and lightly press into the jam. Bake 35-40 minutes in preheated over, or until lightly brown. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
