Crumbly jam square.......

With the results of the plum collecting and jam making being such a success Evie and Dot made some yummy crumbly jam square....... enough said!!!


Here's the recipe incase you want to make some for yourself:

1 cup brown sugar (Dot and Evie used a mix of brown and demarera which gave a nice crunchy texture)
3/4 cup of butter
1 1/2 cups of plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups of quick rolled oats
Chopped nuts for topping (optional - we didn't use any this time)

Rub ingredients together until crumbly and save 1/3 of crumb mixture for the top (if you are using nuts, mix these through the crumbly mix for the top). Press rest of crumb mix into a baking pan and up the sides of pan about 1 inch. Cover with jam of your choice, then cover with the saved crumb mixture (press this down slightly to stop it crumbling off when cut up). Bake at 170 degrees for 25-35 minutes until lightly browned.

Oh, I feel a cup of coffee coming on........
