There's a change in the air!
Could it be that Fall is finally arriving? I've made some Fig Bars using a jar of my homemade Fig Preserves, which you can find here. The pretty table covering is from my mom, and so is the napkin. My cottage teapot goes so nicely with my teacup.
The Royal Albert teacup is from the Woodland Series and my friend Rosie gifted it to me from her Mom's collection.
In my teapot is this delicious tea, again from my friend Margie. It perfectly complements the fig bars. Thank you, Margie!
The story on this hanging basket is that every plant I had in here... asparagus fern, spider plant, then coleus, which was eaten in one night, as food for some critter. I decided to put two stems of faux ferns in to save myself grief and money!
Yield: 20 bars
Fig Bars
I had a jar of homemade fig preserves to use, but you could use store bought, or maybe apple butter or pumpkin butter.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/4 t. baking soda
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 jar of fig preserves (or any flavor of preserves)
Instructions
- Cream butter and brown sugar. Mix in remaining ingredients until crumbly. If needed, add about 1-2 t. water. Press half the mixture into a greased 8 or 9" square pan. Spread with the filling. Top with the remaining crumb mixture and press lightly. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
Notes
This recipe is easily doubled to bake in a 9 x 13" pan.
