Raisin Bars

The card looks like Gramma Moore's handwriting, but Mom doesn't remember Gramma making these. She thinks the recipe is from Liz Elgarten.

Filling

• 2½ cup raisins
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• ½ cup sugar
• ¾ cup water
• 3 tablespoon lemon juice

Mix well. Cook slowly, stirring until thick. Cool.

Dough

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1¾ cup sifted flour
• ½ teaspoon salt

Cream butter and sugar, add dry ingredients, then oats.
