This recipe is a family favorite from way back.

 

Pineapple Squares

 

Crust:

1 cup flour

1 1/2 cups oatmeal

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 tsp salt

 

Filling:

2 cups crushed pineapple, drained of most of the juice

2 tsp cornstarch

1/2 cup sugar

 

Combine filling ingredients in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil and allow the sugar to dissolve and

the mixture to thicken slightly. Cool.

 

Combine the crust ingredients using a pastry cutter

until it resembles coarse crumbs and starts to stick

together. Press crust onto the bottom of a 13x9 inch

cake pan and a bit up the sides to form a rim.

Pour filling over top and spread evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
