1/2 c Butter

3 c Flour

2 Eggs

1/2 ts Baking Powder

1 c Pecans -- finely chopped

1/2 ts Salt

1 TB Brandy Or Rum Flavoring

1 jar Smucker's® Strawberry

: Preserves -- (18 0z. jar)

Oven 350 F.

In large bowl of mixmaster put sugar, butter, eggs and flavoring. Beat until light and fluffy. Remove from

mixer and by hand, work in dry ingredients and nuts.

Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan and dust with flour. Press

2/3 of dough into pan. Spread the jar of preserves

over this. Lattice remaining dough in strips over

350 for 25-30 minutes. Let

cool in pan until lukewarm, so that hot preserves

won't burn you when you cut cookies into squares.

Store in tin box between layers of wax paper. Can be

frozen. TO LATTICE DOUGH:

Roll small pieces between palms or on lightly floured

surface. You will have to piece strips. You can't

roll them all in one piece. Keep hands or fingertips

floured to make strips.

NOTE:

You may substitute Smucker's® Raspberry Preserves.

I could never find raspberry preserves around

Christmas.
