Crumble together the shortening, brown sugar, salt,
baking soda, and oatmeal. Add just a little milk if
too dry (only a LITTLE milk mind you).
Place the cut up dates in a cooking pot. Add the
white sugar and water to the dates and boil all
together until the dates are jam like.
Pack two thirds (or 3/4) of the dry ingrediences
into a 9x15 baking pan. Next, pour all of the jam
like dates on top of the packed dry ingrediences.
Sprinkle the remaining dry ingrediences over the jam
like dates.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until crispy and golden
brown, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Good luck
and enjoy!
