This is a great recipe. The recipe I have calls for 1 1/2c of Ap flour and a 10oz jar of red raspberry preserves and thats how I make it and bake it for 25 min. I have found that placing it in the fridge helps it set better. Thanks for posting!

These were very good, but I could not have used the whole cup of jam! whew! maybe 3/4 c would have been good.
