ingredients

2 cups pitted dates
1 cup sauerkraut, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup butter or margarine

directions

Cook dates, sauerkraut, sugar and cinnamon in water until thick, stirring frequently. Add nuts and vanilla. Cool.

Combine flour, salt, soda, sugar, and oats; mix well. Cut in butter with fork or pastry cutter. Mixture will be crumbly.

Press half the flour mixture into a greased 9-inch x 13-inch pan. Spread the cooled date filling over the crust, then top with the other half of the flour mixture and pat gently.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and cut into bars.

Recipe is very sweet...kids love them. Be sure to chop up the kraut and dates prior to reducing.
