  1. I just made the fresh quick strawberry jam and the strawberry jam crumble bars. They are both very tasty. I doubled the jam recipe so I could have more jam and it’s really good but I think it’s a little too sweet so I’ll try using slightly less sugar next time.

    As for the strawberry jam crumble bars, They are super good, but you definitely need a fork to eat them. And, I’m not sure if they should be kept in the refrigerator or not so I kept them overnight in the refrigerator. But in doing so, the oatmeal base is a bit too hard to cut without the strawberry filling all squishing out and they are a little harder to eat.

  2. These are SO GOOD. But I agree that they shouldn’t be kept in the fridge. The jam caramelizes in the baking process, so if you eat it chilled, you might lose a tooth. I also added a wee bit more salt, and the extra saltiness was explicitly noted and appreciated by all who ate them.

  3. I used half strawberries and half raspberries. While I really liked these bars, next time I’ll pre bake the base for 10-15 minutes first as I found the base slightly underdone.
