What to do with all that jam and jelly that you made throughout the year. If you're like me you have made a lot, given away a lot and realized that you cannot eat what you have left before fruit will be in season again and you'll start all over.

I have found a bar cookie recipe that seems to be popular with most and you can use any jams, jellies, or curds that you have. Plus, it works perfectly with an 8-ounce jar of spreads, and it's easy!
