You could substitute the strawberry jam for apricot jam or any other type of jam that takes your fancy.

Strawberry Squares
125 gm Margarine
4 tbsp Sugar
3 tbsp Milk
2 cups Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
pinch of Salt
1 Egg, beaten
½ jar of Strawberry Jam
Cream the margarine & sugar together. Then add the milk and the beaten egg. Blend well. Then sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. Knead to form a soft dough. Press two thirds of the dough out in to a greased baking tray and spread the jam over the top of it. Then grate the remaining dough over the top of the jam layer. Bake at 180’C/350’F/Gas Mark 4 for 20 – 30 minutes. Cut in to squares whilst still hot.
