you should bake these

I have had mixed success with making raspberry oatmeal sort of bars. they are usually too crumbly and not particularly delicious. this week, I tried again, this time using this recipe from Epicurious.

I used blackberry-raspberry freezer jam I made earlier in the summer. the coconut in the recipe adds some very nice flavor and also helps keep the bar together. they were super good. this is my new bar recipe.
