Blackberry Jam Bars

These blackberry jam bars are super simple to put together and taste delicious!

Blackberry Jam Bars

I really enjoy growing and preserving my own food including making my own homemade jam. If you’ve never had homemade jam, then you really haven’t lived. Seriously, it’s so much better than store-bought and there is a satisfaction that comes with making it yourself. Even sweeter than making your own jam is if you can grow your own berries or at least pick them yourself.

Blackberries are easy to find wild and strawberries are fairly easy to grow on your own. I can’t wait to get into our new house so we can plant fruit trees, blueberry bushes and strawberry plants.  As berry season approaches, I’m beginning to use up the rest of our frozen fruit and jams which is where these Blackberry Jam Bars come into play.

I only have a couple of jars left of my blackberry jam, but I still have quite a few freezer jams to use up so I figured I had better get to eating and these jam bars are a great way to use homemade jam. They are easy to put together and taste amazing.

How to Make Blackberry Jam Bars:

Preheat oven to 350 and grease square baking pan.

In medium bowl, mix oats, flour, sugar and salt.

Work butter into mixture until crumbly. (I used my hands, but you could use a fork, pastry cutter or a stand mixer.)

Pour half of the oat mixture into baking pan and press down firmly.

Spread jam evenly over mixture.

Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture over the top and pat down lightly.

Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool and cut into bars.
