These bars are different from anything we've ever had. They have a crunchy oatmeal crust that complements the creamy middle layer. The layer is sweet and tangy with raisins in every bite. A delicious old-fashioned heirloom recipe.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 c raisins
1 c brown sugar
1 c butter, room temperature
1 3/4 c quick oatmeal
1 tsp baking soda
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
3 egg yolks, well beaten
1 1/2 c sour cream
1 c sugar
2 1/2 tsp corn starch
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

1. Soak raisins in some hot water until soft. Then drain water off of raisins and cool. Set aside.
2. Cream butter and sugar well. Add the oatmeal, soda, and flour. Mix well and pat 1/2 of the mixture in a 9"x13" pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.
3. In a large saucepan, cook the egg yolks, sour cream, sugar, and corn starch. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add raisins and vanilla.
4. Pour cooked mixture over the crust. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top of mixture. Bake for 30 more minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh, ripe fruit. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
