polish raspberry treats

2 c all-purpose flour
1 c brown sugar
1 c rolled oats
3/4 c walnuts, ground
1 c coconut
3/4 t salt
12 T unsalted butter, melted
1 lb raspberry jam

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large rectangular pan (13x9" or thereabouts) with foil and butter the foil.

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Break up any clumps of sugar with your finger tips and work the ingredients to mix them. Add the melted butter and work with fingers to combine well (if the mixture is too dry and doesn't stick together easily, add up to 2 T butter). Press half of dough in the foil-lined pan, working well into edges and pressing down to compact. Spread out the jam evenly to within 1/2" of edges of pan.

Take handfuls of remaining dough mixture and crumble it over pan, distributing evenly. Press down with palms of hand to compact - but not too hard. Bake until golden-brown, about 45 minutes.

Cool completely before cutting. Cut into 12 pieces.
