In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.

Using two knives or a pastry blender, cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles crumbs. Stir in the cheese. Remove ¾ cup of the mixture and set aside.
- Step 4
Press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch-square baking pan. Spread the jam evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the nuts and then the reserved crumb mixture. Press gently.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden.
- Step 6
Cool completely in the pan. Cut the cooled pastry into 2-by-1-inch bars. Store, well-wrapped, in the refrigerator.

It’s very important that the cheese used is sharp cheddar!
I was looking for an easy recipe with raspberries in it. This seemed a bit strange with the cheese in the crust but fit the bill. It turned out well for the effort. It seems there is an old recipe using velveeta. Oh my!
