Method
1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine brown sugar, flour, butter, oatmeal, baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2
Press half of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan to form an even base layer.
3
Spread red plum jam evenly over the oat base, leaving about 1/4 inch from the edges.
4
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the jam layer, pressing gently so it adheres but remains crumbly.
5
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
