MOST AWESOME APRICOT OATMEAL BARS
Another apricot recipe from my Mom's collection. These also have honey and that was a BIG deal on Shupert's Honey Farm. At one point my Dad kept over 200 hives of bees.

Steps:
- 1. Combine apricots and water and cook in a small covered pan for 10 minutes at medium heat. Remove the lid and continue to cook until apricots are tender and almost all of the water has evaporated. Add preserves, 1 tablespoon sugar, and almond extract. Stir and cook until preserves are melted and everything is well mixed. Remove from heat and cool.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine butter, brown sugar, honey, flour, oats, baking powder and salt. Mix together well. Press 1/2 of this mixture in the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking pan. Spread cooled filling over crust spreading evenly. Top with remaining oatmeal-flour mixture. Press down on top gently to get air gaps out.
- 3. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Do not over-bake. Remove from oven. Cool slightly. Run a knife around the edges of pan to loosen and then cut in bars. After cutting, leave in pan to cool completely.
