Ingredients

  • 2 cups oats, either quick or old-fashioned (uncooked)
  • 2 cups Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped and lightly toasted
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup butter or margarine, chilled (cut into small pieces)
  • Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
  • 1 (12 ounce) jar Smucker's® Seedless Blackberry Jam

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl toss together oats, flour, brown sugar, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt until well blended.
  2. Sprinkle mixture with lemon juice, then with a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter pieces until mixture is crumbly.
  3. Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Reserve 2 cups of the oat mixture, then sprinkle remainder in pan, pressing with fingers to form a crust.
  5. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until set. Let cool slightly, then spread blackberry jam evenly over crust.
