I don't usually like anything with jam, even Hamantashen, but these jam bars are a winner! You can leave out the lemon rind and walnuts if you prefer. You can also use all margarine or all shortening; it doesn't make much of a difference in this recipe. I generally use raspberry jam, but any jam can work.
