2 c Oatmeal

1/2 c Walnuts; chopped

3/4 c Butter; melted

1 c Flour; white

1/2 c Brown sugar

1/2 ts Salt

1/2 ts Baking soda

1 1/4 c Jam; raspberry

Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees. Grease a 9 inch square pan. Combine all ingredients except jam and stir well. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture. Press the rest of the oatmeal mixture into the pan.
