Easy Jam Bars - The Southern Lady Cooks

 

Jam bars are simple to make and so versatile. You can use whatever jam you have on hand. We made these with blackberry jam and they were absolutely delicious. Only a handful of ingredients and they take no time to make. You are in and out of the kitchen in no time and have a wonderful treat to enjoy!

Easy Jam Bars

1 cup of butter, softened

1 cup of sugar

2 cups of all purpose flour

2 egg whites

1 cup of walnuts

3/4 cup of jam

Cream together the butter and sugar and then add the egg whites. Then add flour and nuts. Pat half the mixture in the bottom of a greased 9X9 dish. I like to press it down with a fork. Spread jam over the top (I use Blackberry Jam but you can use any jam you wish) then drop the rest of the mixture on top. Bake on 350 for 35-40 minutes until the top browns a little. Let cool and then cut in to squares.
