ALMOND JAM BARS
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/2 c. shortening
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. milk
3/4 c. jam
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and spices. Cut shortening into flour mixture (like pie crust). Mix egg and milk; add to flour mixture. Add flavoring or add flavorings to egg and milk before mixing with flour mixture. Spread 1/3 into greased 8 inch square pan. Cover with jam (raspberry is good). Spread remaining flour mixture over jam. Just spoon on carefully - doesn't have to be real evenly spread. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes.
